After their first two tournaments of the season, the Cerritos College women's basketball team has rebounded from a first round loss to win their next two games. The end result is a pair of consolation championships, with the most recent being at the Mt. San Jacinto Tournament over the weekend. The Falcons (4-2) were edged by Antelope Valley College, 58-55 in the first round, but came back the second day to hand Chaffey College a 60-30 setback. The team earned the consolation title with their 94-51 win over Victor Valley College. Cerritos will now get some time off before they travel north to play in the College of the Sequoias Tournament on December 4, where they will open with San Joaquin Delta College.
