NCAAW semifinal recap
Megha Ganne made a 7-foot birdie putt on the 20th hole to defeat world No. 1 Lottie Woad and vault Stanford into the finals of the NCAA DI women's championships. The Cardinal will face Northwestern Wednesday at La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California, as they look to become the first team in the match-play era (beginning in 2015) to win back-to-back national titles. Following morning quarterfinal matches, Stanford defeated Florida State, 3 ½ to 1 ½. Northwestern beat Oregon, 3-2. With the Cardnial leading FSU, 2-0, thanks to a 5-and-3 win by Paula Martin Sampedro and a 5-and-4 victory by Kelly Xu, Stanford forced extra holes in all three remaining matches. Seminole junior Mirabel Ting, the second-ranked amateur in the world and recently named player of the year, was unable to close out her match in regulation against Andrea Revuleta. Woad, meanwhile, was 1 up through 14 holes over Ganne but needed to birdie the 17th to help force sudden death. On the second playoff hole, the par-4 15th, Ganne hit her approach shot to 7 feet and Woad followed to 12 feet. Woad failed to convert her effort while Ganne center-cut hers to earn the clinching point. The Northwestern-Oregon tilt came down to the final match, with Wildcat junior Dianna Lee taking down decorated sophomore Kiara Romero. Lee had two separate putts on the 17th hole to defeat the world No. 3, but missed both. Romero, however, hit her approach shot into the back greenside bunker on the par-4 18th and couldn't escape after two swings. She conceded the hole and the match. The last team to repeat as DI women's national champions was Duke, in 2007, when 72 holes of stroke play determined the winner. Golf Channel will air live coverage of the final at 6 p.m. EDT.

Philadelphia Flyers sign prospects Devin Kaplan, Alex Bump to entry-level contracts
Fresh off a national championship showdown, Devin Kaplan and Alex Bump have put pen to paper and inked their first NHL contracts. On Tuesday, the Philadelphia Flyers signed Kaplan and Bump to their entry-level contracts just days after the two squared off against each other in Western Michigan's win over Boston University in the NCAA DI men's ice hockey championship . Kaplan will report to the Flyers and will be available in the team's final two games of the regular season. His contract begins now. Bump's contract will begin in 2025-26, but the 21-year-old will report to the Lehigh Valley on a tryout for the rest of the season. Bump and Kaplan were both selected in the 2022 NHL draft. The Flyers took Kaplan in the third round and Bump in the fifth round. Kaplan leaves Boston University after his junior season. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound forward registered an assist in the Terriers' national-title game loss to the Broncos. In his final collegiate campaign, Kaplan scored 10 goals and 18 points in 38 games. The Bridgewater, New Jersey, native finished his collegiate career with 25 goals and 64 points in 115 games. Bump, 21, helped lead Western Michigan University to its first men's hockey national championship in 2024-25 and was named the Frozen Faceoff MVP. Bump led Western Michigan with 47 points and was named the National Collegiate Hockey Conference forward of the year in his final collegiate season. The Flyers (33-37-10) have two games left — Tuesday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets and Thursday night in Buffalo.
