5. Cross country teams scrimmage against PAC 12 schools
According to cerritosfalcons.com, the cross country teams were pitted against PAC 12 division schools, among them being USC and UCLA, in a non-scoring meet at the Rose Bowl Friday Oct. 11.
With the opportunity to compete with such prestigious schools, the team certainly had the experience that coaches Christopher Richardson and Marco Anzures have yearned for all season.
Looking past this, the team awaits the South Coast Conference Championships at Heartwell Park in Lakewood Friday, Nov. 1 at 11 a.m.
4. Nathan Eshmade’s run comes to an end
Although not in season, the men’s tennis team is making some noise with its Australian player, sophomore Nathan Eshmade narrowly missing out on a chance of attaining a National Championship.
The semi-finals of the USTA/ITA National Small College Championships saw Eshmade get defeated by Mate Cutura.
He will still get a chance to play for third place Saturday Oct. 19 at 8 a.m.
3. Football getting back on track
With consecutive blowout losses back in Sept., the team is returning to its winning roots as a second consecutive win against Palomar College Saturday, Oct. 12 has earned the team a 3-2 overall record.
Sophomore running back Elijhaa Penny has been a standout and the go-to guy for the team this season, and this game was no exception.
Cerritosfalcons.com claims that Penny ran a total of 262 yards in the win, the second most in school history.
The team looks ahead in to its away contest against Allan Hancock College at 4 p.m.
2. Volleyball loses despite strong confidence
The volleyball team knew its away match against Long Beach City College would be a challenge, but despite a clear confidence the team had in its training and game plan, it still lost 3-2.

With a consecutive loss, the volleyball team needs to adjust to avoid another dip in its season.
1. Women’s soccer remains undefeated
