York couldn’t miss early, the Duke Dome was rattling loud and the Huskies couldn’t answer a gut punch. It all spelled bad news for Aurora. 
The Huskies got down early and never got quite close enough to make York sweat as the Dukes defeated Aurora 60-38 Friday night in the Central Conference semifinals. 
York went on to lose the finals matchup with Crete while Aurora fell in the third place match to Seward Saturday. 
York avenged a 57-55 loss to Aurora back on Dec. 16. According to coach Kevin Asher, those two games were far enough apart that both teams looked completely different the second time around.
