Home field...advantage?

Home field advantage in sports is one of the vital and key components in winning postseason games, but for the Cerritos College men's basketball team, success is earned away from The Aviary.

It was to no surprise that the Falcons went into LA Valley's backyard and stole a victory in the first round of the regional playoffs, 80-76.

With the win on Wednesday, they now travel once again, this time to face top-seeded Saddleback college.

The Falcons completed their 2008-2009 season sporting an undefeated record of 5-0 in the SCC conference and a 7-1 record overall when they are on the road, not to mention a 10-game winning streak they're riding on entering Saturday night's game.

When playing at home, Cerritos finished the season with an awful record of 5-6.

The talks of an upset are definitely high as the Falcons enter Saddleback college comfortably and confident attempting to extend their streak to 11.
