The Cerritos College women's tennis team saw one of their singles players and two of their doubles teams advance on the first day of the CCCAA State Championships. The four-day event, taking place in Ojai, will continue Friday morning and run through Sunday.

In singles action, sophomore Samantha Judan (Bishop Montgmery HS), the #6-seeded player from Southern California, posted a 7-6(2), 6-0 win over Viktoriya Shumakova of Glendale College in her Round of 64 match. She will now take on the #10-seeded player from Northern California, Ghia Mahta of DeAnza College at 8:00 p.m. at Buena High School.

Judan and sophomore Rianne Ilagan (Bellflower HS) posted a 7-6, 6-4 win in their Round of 64 match against Shannon McElhaney and Anastaysia Trachenko of San Diego Mesa College on Thursday. They have advanced and will play Jacklyn Lee and Mahta of De Anza, the #12-seeded team at 12:00 p.m. at Ventura College.

Also earning a win was Flores and sophomore Natalie Perez (Lakewood HS), who recorded an upset win over #7-seeded Clare Frye and Bailey Wisley of Reedley College, 7-6(5), 6-4.
