When she started her career with the Cerritos College volleyball team, sophomore Lupe Garcia (Foshay Learning Center HS) was used primarily as a setter. But with the Falcons needing help at the net, and two freshmen taking over the setting duties, Garcia is now the team's kills leader. She added 21 kills to her season total in the team's 25-19, 26-24, 25-19 South Coast Conference win at Los Angeles Harbor College on Friday night. The win improved their record to 6-9 overall and 3-4 in SCC play, with the team hosting East Los Angeles College at 6:30 p.m. next Wednesday.

A dominant force at the net, Garcia seemed to get stronger as the match progressed. She accounted for four kills in the first game, added nine more to her total in the second game and finished with eight more in the third game for her career-high 21 kills and only two errors. On the night, Garcia also contributed six digs and two service aces in the win.

Getting her the ball were freshmen setters Gloria Chang (Bellflower HS) and Brittany Buffington (Mayfair HS), who combined for 33 assists. Freshman Latia Peters (Hesperia HS) added seven kills with just one error and four blocks for the Falcons, while sophomore Aundrea Stovall (Lynwood HS) posted six kills. Freshman Jessica Dorado (Downey HS) added four kills off the bench, with freshman Andrea Garrett (Cerritos HS) checking in with four kills.

In the back row, the team turned to freshman Madison Guastella (Lakewood HS), who had a team-high 13 digs, while freshman Katie Christensen (Gahr HS) had 12 in the win, with Buffington contributing seven.
