Facing undefeated Golden West College in their final non-conference match, the Cerritos College volleyball team suffered a four-set defeat, 15-25, 28-26, 13-25, 23-25. The Falcons (4-3), who saw their three-game winning streak come to an end, will open South Coast Conference play next Wednesday when they host East Los Angeles College in a 6:00 p.m. match.
Cerritos played the match without freshman starter Cameron Puente (Mayfair HS), while sophomore starter Alexia Torres (Downey HS) did not play in the first set.

A troublesome third set was followed by another nail-biter, with the Rustlers avoiding a fifth set by escaping with a 25-23 decision.
Despite missing the first set, Torres did share the team lead in kills at 12 with sophomore Sierra Hernandez-Hardy (Bishop Amat HS), who had a solid night.
