It was a clean sweep as all six singles and all 3 doubles matches ended with the Falcon’s on top.

Almost every player on the team is a freshman, with the exception of sophomore Mike Fitzgerald, but it still delivered a dominating performance against a more experienced El Camino team.

Freshman Tomas Pierson-Perez said, “[There was] no pressure actually. I think they haven’t won a conference in forever.”

Pierson-Perez did let his confidence get in the way as he kept a level head to come out with two matches won.

“In a game like this you just have to look at the positives and negatives and just bring it all together,” he said.

It looks like El Camino’s hopes for a conference championship this season went out the door after this performance by the Falcons.

The results are as follows:
•    Nick Johnson defeats Reynold Tacsuan, 6-1, 6-2
•    Anthony Peterson defeats Sovanerith Lee, 6-0, 6-0
•    Mike Fitzgerald defeats Joshua Caampued, 6-0, 6-1
•    Pat Cayabyab defeats Zikomo Benous, 6-1, 6-2
•    Tomas Pierson-Perez defeats Bryan Millado, 6-2, 6-1
•    Jonathan Chen defeats Ritchie Prum, 6-2, 6-4
•    Johnny Khiev/Pat Cayabyab defeat Joshua Caampued/Bryan Millado, 8-6
•    Mike Fitzgerald/Nick Johnson defeat Reynold Tacsuan/Sovanerith Lee, 8-1
•    Anthony Peterson/Tomas Pierson-Perez defeat Zikomo Benous/Ritchie Prum, 8-3

Next for the Cerritos men’s tennis team is the final match of the conference against Mt. San Antonio this Thursday.

This game will be equally important to both teams as they have identical records.

“If they win conference they go to the play-offs if we win conference then we go to the play offs,” Pierson-Perez said.
