DECEMBER 1 – NAIA SEMIFINALS

Saint Francis (10-2) at Morningside (13-0) (1 p.m.): The No. 8 and two-time defending national champion Cougars are 2-0 lifetime against the top-ranked Iowa-based Mustangs, including a 43-36 win in last year’s semifinals. Matt Crable was 11-of-26 for 186 yards with two touchdowns and ran five times for 33 yards in Saint Francis’ 33-23 win over No. 12 Baker (Kansas). Trent Solsma went 31-of-39 for 374 yards and five touchdowns in Morningside’s 51-14 victory over No. 17 Saint Xavier. The Cougars finished third in the Mideast League of the Mid-States Football Foundations, while the Mustangs were champions of the Great Palins Athletic Conference. Saint Francis has 10 straight playoff games, while Morningside was national runner-up in 2012.

DONE FOR THE SEASON
