Sophomore Allan Jimenez (Schurr HS) drew the game even on his goal with 1:06 on the clock on the team's next possession. But UC Merced had the final answer, as they scored the eventual game-winning goal with :45 seconds left. Cerritos didn't have an answer and were turned away on their last possession.

Diaz led the team with a pair of goals, with five other players scoring once. Freshman Diego Campos (Downey HS) suffered the loss in the net and made eight saves in the match.

Cerritos vs. Sierra: It was another nail-biter for the Falcons, as they came back from a late deficit to pull out the win.
