Down a pair of sets against host Los Angeles Harbor College on Wednesday night, the Cerritos College volleyball team staged a comeback that resulted in a five-set win. The five-set victory evened the Falcons record at 7-7 overall and 2-2 in South Coast Conference play. They will host Mt. San Antonio College at 6:00 p.m. next Wednesday in a crossover match. The Mounties (11-1) are coached by former Cerritos All-State player and former co-head coach Ali Oliver, who is in her first season.

After winning the first set, 25-23, Cerritos stumbled and dropped the next two sets (15-25, 10-25), which pinned their backs to the wall. They responded with a 25-17 win in the fourth set and then pulled out a close 15-13 fifth set to defeat the Seahawks (2-13, 0-3).

Sophomore Monica Vega (South Gate HS) led the team with 13 kills and added 10 digs, while sophomore Rocio Rojo-Perez (Bellflower HS) contributed nine kills and shared the team lead with 18 digs.
