With one South Coast Conference match remaining on their schedule, the Cerritos College women's tennis team is poised to finish with an undefeated record. On Tuesday, the Falcons (20-1, 11-0) defeated host Rio Hondo College, 8-1 and only have a match at College of the Desert on Thursday keeping them from a perfect conference record. Cerritos is currently ranked #1 in Southern California.
The match started with the Falcons sweeping in doubles and then earned five straight set wins and lost just a combined four games. The top of the doubles ladder saw sophomores Anastasia Khomyachenko (Sochi, Russia) and Taylor Heath (Cerritos HS) earning an 8-1 win and then followed that with singles wins where they each lost just one game.
The dominance in the match continued on all facets, as the #3 doubles team of sophomore Jovana Milosevic (High School of Business and Law, Serbia/Hillsborough, FL CC) and freshman Danielle Pastor (Bishop Montgomery HS) playing to an 8-2 win. They also lost one game each in singles, playing in the #5 and #6 positions, respectively.
Freshmen Tiffany Sanchez (Long Beach Wilson HS) and Valentina Polonyi (Altisa, Hungary) had a tougher doubles match, winning 8-5. Polonyi earned a 6-0, 6-0 singles win, while Sanchez had to default out of her singles match with an injury. She was leading 3-1 in the first set at the time of her decision to default.
