K-State women fall short of NCAA Sweet 16 with loss to Stanford

The banner in Bramlage Coliseum listing the Sweet 16 appearances of the Kansas State women’s basketball team won’t need to be taken down this summer.

The seventh-seeded Wildcats lost to No. 2 seed Stanford 69-48 on Monday, ending their second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance under third-year coach Jeff Mittie and the illustrious careers of seniors Breanna Lewis and Kindred Wesemann.

Lewis finished with 9 points and 4 rebounds, and Wesemann, who played at Pleasant Hill, finished with 11 points and 5 assists.

For a brief moment in the third quarter, it looked as if Stanford might have lost steam.
