(STATS) -- During its run to a record five straight FCS national championships, North Dakota State had to go through Missouri Valley Football Conference rival South Dakota State twice.Those two victories were part of a long winning streak in the series for the Bison, but Saturdays visit from the Jackrabbits feels different.Thats because No. 8 seed SDSU handed top-seeded NDSU its only loss this season. The Bison, though, dont have revenge on their minds -- theyre just focused on reaching the semifinals.I dont even believe in the revenge factor, theyre excited about the opportunity to play, get a chance to play at home, said Chris Klieman, who finished fifth in the voting for the STATS FCS Eddie Robinson Award as FCS Coach of the Year.South Dakota State is the next game on the schedule and thats the one were getting ready for.The previous meeting didnt go well for NDSU (11-1). The Jackrabbits (9-3) stunned the then-No. 1 Bison 19-17 at the Fargodome on Oct. 15 when Taryn Christion threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Jake Wieneke with one second remaining to end NDSUs 14-game winning streak. SDSU had dropped the previous eight matchups.That victory eventually gave the Jackrabbits the MVFCs automatic bid to the playoffs after they finished tied with the Bison for first place in the conference with a 7-1 record. NDSU won a share of its sixth straight conference championship.Even though the Bison are 17-0 at home in the FCS playoffs, Jackrabbits coach John Stiegelmeier thinks his team has a slight edge.We would be the most familiar with that facility in terms of playoff teams going up there, both in terms of conference play and playoff situations, he said. The environment last time we were up there did not affect our offense, and thats where it really has an impact.Christion, the MVFCs offensive player of the year, rushed for a career-high 141 yards in October to go along with 303 passing yards and two TDs. SDSU racked up 523 total yards, the second-most NDSU allowed all season, and the Bison gave up a season-high 220 rushing yards.You can go back and go through the film of the previous game, either side of the ball both teams, and youre gonna see maybe some similarities because its who you are, Klieman said. In the same respect theres a lot of different adjustments and wrinkles that both teams put in. ... You have to be able to adjust in the playoffs no matter what.SDSU had to adjust in its snowy playoff opener last weekend at home. Villanova limited SDSUs high-powered offense to 197 yards -- 284.7 below its season average -- before the Jackrabbits pulled out a 10-7 win when freshman Chase Vinatieri kicked a 40-yard field goal with 1:21 left.Bottom line is we did grind out a win, Stiegelmeier said. Our guys have learned to just accept a victory. Ive asked them after way too many games Can we play better? and that answers always a yes. It doesnt matter how well weve played. I didnt ask them that because I didnt want to bring up a feeling of not playing as well as we couldve.We got the win, weve moved on. Were one of eight teams left.NDSU had a much easier time last week in its first playoff game. Quarterback Easton Stick accounted for 307 total yards and passed for three touchdowns as the Bison rolled to a 45-7 win over Pioneer Football League champion San Diego.NDSU totaled 507 yards and rushed for 299. The Bison were held to season lows of 304 total yards and 161 on the ground in the first meeting with SDSU.Its a new game, its a new week, Klieman said. Were trying to go 1-0.This is the 106th meeting in a series that dates back to 1903. NDSU holds a 59-41-5 advantage and has won 13 of 15 matchups at the Fargodome.Theyve been here, done that, Stiegelmeier said. The fact that we beat them during the regular season doesnt matter to them. Theyre the No. 1 seed for a reason, we have to go to their place for a reason. We need to play our best football.The winner will face No. 4 seed James Madison (11-1) or No. 5 seed Sam Houston State (12-0) next week.

SAN MARTIN, Calif. -- When Sung Hyun Park entered her first U.S. Womens Open, her goals were modest. Halfway through the tournament, Park has put herself in prime position to contend.Park capitalized on the favorable morning scoring conditions, shooting a 6-under 72 Friday to take a two-stroke lead after the second round of the U.S. Womens Open at CordeValle.I didnt even think about winning because this is the first time for me, Park said through an interpreter. I would like more experience with the USGA, LPGA. But Im trying to enjoy this tournament. Thats why I am just more comfortable, dont even think about the winning, I just enjoy the play.Park, a 22-year-old from South Korea, made her LPGA debut last year when she finished second at the KEB-HanaBank Championship in South Korea. She has played three more LPGA tournaments this year, tying for sixth in her first major at the ANA Inspiration in the spring.Park had four birdies in a six-hole span to move to 9 under before struggling on the final two holes. She hit her second shot into the greenside bunker at the par-4 17th and then missed a short par putt for her only bogey of the round. Park then drove into a hazard on the par-5 18th for a one-shot penalty before saving par with a 15-foot putt.Amy Yang shot a 71 to get to 6 under, tied for second with first-round leader Mirim Lee. World No. 1 Lydia Ko bounced back from a 1-over par first round to shoot 66 for a tie for fourth with Haru Nomura.Lee, who tied a U.S. Open record by shooting 8 under Thursday, birdied three of the final four holes on her front nine in the afternoon to take a one-shot lead over Park.But things then quickly fell apart. She missed the fairway with her drive on the par-4 10th and her approach shot sailed past the green. Her chip attempt fell short of the green before she three-putted from the fringe for a double bogey.Lee then drove into the front bunker on the par-3 12th hole before missing an 8-foot putt for par to fall two strookes off the lead.ddddddddddddI kept trying to hit the fairway and the green, but I couldnt, she said. So score, its not bad, but not good, too.Ko got off to a shaky start with a bogey on the first hole before stringing together four straight birdies starting at No. 3. She added two more birdies before capping her round with the seventh of the day at the par-5 18th.My birdie on 3 kind of turned the round around and making the string of birdies definitely helped, she said. Just to know that this is the first time I was under par for the tournament kind of put myself in a positive position.While contending in a major is a mostly new experience for Park, Ko is an old hat at it at the age of 19. She won the Evian Championship last September to become the youngest woman ever to win a major and followed that up with her second at the ANA Inspiration this year.Ko then lost a playoff to Brooke Henderson in the KPMG Womens PGA Championship in Washington last month.I think the more I play, I think the more I get used to it, especially at these majors where the courses are tough, Ko said. You need to stay patient. I think thats the big key Ive been learning, just keep my head high and just enjoy it out here.Henderson, ranked second in the world, and fourth-ranked Lexi Thompson could not match playing partner Ko and both finished the day at 3 over.Among the players who missed the cut at 4 over were last years winner In Gee Chun, 2014 U.S. Open champion Michelle Wie and 1998 winner Se Ri Pak.Pak, whose success helped lead to the surge of South Koreans on the tour, double-bogeyed her final hole to finish with an 80 on the day and plus-9 in her final scheduled tournament in the United States.Some players, including Karrie Webb and Christina Kim, came back to the 18th green to watch Paks final shot and congratulate her on a remarkable career.
