It's the Word versus the Herd this week for a trip to Frisco, Texas on the line.

After a heart stopping 66-63 win over Sacramento State, Incarnate Word makes its FCS semifinal debut Friday night at North Dakota State.

The Bison return to the semifinals for an 11th time in 12 years, and once again will be at home. The Hornets loss to the Cardinals opened up the door for NDSU to play one more home game at the Fargodome.
