In their final South Coast Conference crossover game, the Cerritos College women's basketball team fell victim to the #11-ranked team in the state, Mt. San Antonio College.

After freshman Precious Yerena (Downey HS) hit a jumper with 2:13 left in the stanza, the Falcons trailed just 14-10. But Mt. SAC would go on to outscore them, 23-14 in the second period. It was still a tight game early in the second quarter, as sophomore Sarah Hernandez (St. Paul HS) kept the team close at 20-16 with 7:59 left in the first half, and followed with the team's next four points, making it a 22-20 Mountie lead. But after a 17-4 run the remainder of the half put the Mounties in front, 39-24.
