Jenny Navarro and Kristen Voller combined on a 5-hitter on Saturday, leading No. 9 Cerritos to a 5-1 nonconference softball win over visiting SBCC.
It was the first loss of the year for the Vaqueros (6-1). Cerritos, ranked No. 9 in the state and No. 4 in Southern Cal, improved to 7-3.
The Falcons took a 4-0 lead in the fourth on a 2-run double by Navarro.
"We came in a little flat and we never really settled in," said coach Paula Congleton.
Sydney Townes went 2-3 for the Vaqueros. SBCC got its run in the sixth on Christal Vierra's sacrifice fly with the bases loaded.
Madison McNamee (4-1) threw 5 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on five hits with four strikeouts and five walks. Rebecca Pullen came on in the fourth and gave up three runs while getting just one out.
The Vaqueros will host Canyons in a twinbill on Friday at 1 & 3 p.m.
