FINAL
UNI 65

Coyotes shoot 46.7% (29-60) in an emphatic victory over the preseason Missouri Valley Conference favorites. More on the way
@YanktonSports
FINAL: USD 34, Sac St. 24
Coyotes get the win. Carson Camp shook Brock Mogensen's hand but he and Dennis Shorter and Teven McKelvey had words that created some fracas in postgame. Coyotes still get to celebrate their first FCS quarterfinal appearance.
Drew Ryken has made 90 3-pointers on the season, including a crucial 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter of Yankton's semifinal contest against Jefferson to give the Bucks a 55-53 lead.

USD head coach Bob Nielson commented on the targeting call against Coyotes safety Josiah Ganues in Saturday's 14-7 victory over SIU. Similar to NDSU defensive back Sam Jung, Nielson added that Ganues' suspension could be overturned but said no indication on if that would happen.
It's time for the Buffaloes to get consistent wins at home against conference opponents, and not lose to teams they should beat. They should win today VS Utah. Here's my
