导出博客文章(STATS) -- The Citadel didnt lose a game to an FCS opponent all season, but it
found itself in desperate need of a fourth-quarter comeback on numerous
occasions.Perhaps no team was more convinced it had the Bulldogs beaten than
Wofford.The Terriers couldnt close it out in October, but theyll get another
crack at their Southern Conference rivals Saturday in Charleston with a trip to
the quarterfinals on the line.The Citadel (10-1) trailed their first three
opponents in the final three minutes before rallying, and though the deficit
never quite got to that particularly late state October 22 in Spartanburg,
Wofford (9-3) seemed to be well on its way to busting the Bulldogs perfect
start. But Brandon Goodsons ill-advised option pitch was picked off by SoCon
defensive player of the year Kailik Williams and returned for a 13-yard score
with 5:57 left, knotting the score at 21.In overtime, another mistake proved to
be one too many. After the Bulldogs Cody Clark kicked a 21-yard field goal on
the opening possession, running back Will Gay fumbled at the 13, with the
Terriers fourth turnover of the day closing out a Citadel victory.It was a win,
but it felt a little bit like a loss on that day, Bulldogs coach Brent Thompson
said. Not a high point of our 2016 season.If The Citadel felt that guilty about
a victory, its easy to imagine how the other side felt.This is one that will
stick in your craw for a while, coach Mike Ayers said.Not too long, evidently.
Wofford closed the regular season on a four-game winning streak with a 36-28 win
at Chattanooga providing its signature victory, then slipped past Charleston
Southern 15-14 in the first round on Lorenzo Longs 32-yard run late in the third
quarter.Our mission was that we were going to win out and maybe see (The
Citadel) later on, Wofford linebacker Terrance Morris told the Spartanburg
Herald-Journal. Look what happened.There will be no mysteries at Johnson Hagood
Stadium on Saturday. Both teams run the triple option. Both are among the top
five rushing teams in the nation, with The Citadels 358.5 yards per game at No.
1. Both have 32 touchdowns on the ground.The difference could come on the
defensive side. Wofford allows just 2.7 yards per carry, 1.3 fewer than The
Citadel gives up, and those differentials held true in October. The Bulldogs
averaged 3.7 yards on 51 carries and the Terriers toted it 60 times for 5.0 per
carry.But, oh, those turnovers.Im treating it just like any other game -- at
least Im trying to, Gay said of the rematch. Im trying not to overthink it. Once
we get there, I know Ill be thinking a lot about (the fumble). It will make me
go even harder.If he can go at all. Gay and fellow running back Lennox McAfee
left the Charleston Southern game with injuries, and while Gay came back in to
return a punt -- seemingly leaving him at least questionable -- McAfee was
carted off with a leg issue.Theyre hardly the only ones. Both starting inside
linebackers -- Lincoln Stewart and Datavious Wilson -- were also hurt against
the Buccaneers, with Stewart needing to be carried off after lying motionless
after a tackle. It turned out to be nothing more than a pinched nerve, and
Stewart may play this week. Hes the third Terriers linebacker to be carted off
with a frightening injury this season after Michael Roach went into cardiac
arrest and John Patterson suffered fractured vertebrae in his neck.The Bulldogs
are healthier, though slotback Cam Jackson is questionable after missing two
games with a bruised thigh, and have had a week to rest. But like a lot of teams
at this time of year, theyre not exactly looking forward to facing an opponent
theyve seen before.Its not something we were looking forward to, facing a SoCon
opponent, Thompson said. Especially an opponent that knows you so well, and weve
had some really good football games over the last few years with them.Both teams
have reliable kickers, though theres no question which has the bigger leg.
Woffords David Marvin hit 15 of his 19 field-goal attempts this season, going a
remarkable 5 of 6 from beyond 50 yards. He did miss from 49 in the first game
against The Citadel, though, a kick that could have made the difference.But it
starts on the ground. Tyler Renew is the Bulldogs 1,000-yard back, and he knows
a similar offensive performance to the October meeting could leave his team
one-and-done this postseason.Our fundamentals were pretty poor the first time we
played them, and we practiced that a lot in the last week, Renew said. Were
excited to take the field Saturday, execute really well and perform at a high
level.

Gilmore Jersey . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks
overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power
play continued to struggle. NEW YORK -- Serena Williams, with all kinds of
history nearly within her grasp, won a dramatic quarterfinal match Wednesday
night, escaping a fiery challenge from No. 5 seed Simona Halep, 6-2, 4-6,
6-3.For another two days, at least, Williams quest for an Open era record of 23
Grand Slam singles titles, a record seventh US Open title and a new mark for
consecutive weeks (187) at No. 1 remains alive.The match, which captivated the
near-capacity crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium, required 2 hours, 14 minutes to
complete.I knew I could play a lot better, Williams said during her on-court
interview, in reference to her performance in the second set. I felt I lost my
rhythm, and Simona started playing better.I knew I had to step it up in the
third set.Williams, the No. 1 seed, faces No. 10 seed Karolina Pliskova in a
Thursday night semifinal that will feature the two women with the most aces
among WTA players.It was Serenas 309th major match win, two more than Roger
Federer, extending her all-time Open era recordd.ddddddddddddHalep, a
24-year-old from Romania who is more than a decade younger than Williams, saved
all 11 break points she faced on her serve in a heroic second set, but she faded
badly in the third. It was, nonetheless, the first time Serena had been
challenged this fortnight.I wasnt very happy about that, but I tried not to let
that get me down, Williams said about all the chances she let slip away. I tried
to stay positive and I knew that if I did, I could just stay in the match.For
the match, Williams could convert only four of 20 break opportunities, but she
converted the only break chance she would need in the deciding set to go ahead
3-1.It was tough. Is tough, Halep said. Im a little bit sad.Williams finished
with 18 aces, a 50-20 edge in total winners and won the point on 26 of her 32
trips to the net.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
