   Now it's up to the women.
   The last remaining men's team from Northern California lost Thursday in the NCAA Division I Championships as No. 18 Cal fell to No. 3 Virginia in the round of 16 for the second straight year 4-0 in Urbana, Ill.
   The No. 1 singles match between third-ranked Jarmere Jenkins of Virginia and No. 38 Ben McLachlan was abandoned.
   The Bears ended the season 16-10. Virginia, the NCAA runner-up for the past two years, improved to 27-0.
   Last week, No. 40 Stanford and unranked Sacramento State lost in the opening round. It was the first time the Cardinal fell in the opening round in its 35 appearances in the NCAA Championships.
