The Stanford women went as far as they could, but their dance is over. 

The Fighting Irish beat them last night and now Duke heads to the Final Four for the ninth time to face U-Conn. 

And the Lady Cardinal came back home to the Bay Area having done the best they could, especially in the first half when Stanford had a 7-point lead. 

But in the end, Duke hit the gas and won it 84 to 68. 

In baseball news — the Giants finally got a home run and they ended up beating the Dodgers 4-2. 

Also, the AA’s added four more homers to their season total and Khris Davis hit his fifth — that gave the A’s the lead and they never looked back, beating the Red Sox 7-0 and they play again tonight.
