(STATS) -- North Dakota States FCS dynasty wasnt halted Friday night because of a fluke play, an officials mistake or anything that could have people questioning the outcome.No, the top-seeded Bison wont be adding to their record streak of five consecutive FCS national championships because fourth-seeded James Madison simply was the better team in its 27-17 victory in the national semifinals before 18,282 at the Fargo dome.The Dukes (13-1) basically had to win the game twice. The CAA Football champion built a 17-0 lead in the first half and gave it all away, then overcame North Dakota States momentum in the second half to win going away at the Bisons usually invincible home field.In ending NDSUs 22-game playoff win streak, James Madison advanced to the national championship game Jan. 7 in Frisco, Texas against the winner of Saturdays semifinal between Youngstown State (11-3) and No. 2 seed Eastern Washington (12-1).James Madison captured the 2004 FCS title -- 31-21 over Montana -- in its only other appearance in the final.I came in and Ive got a bunch of kids that bought in to what we were teaching and believed in the culture we were trying to create, and Ive got a great coaching staff, James Madison first-year coach Mike Houston said.Its play as hard as you can every snap, doing things right, its really a special bunch in there. I could not be more proud of the effort.NDSU (12-2) hadnt lost in the playoffs since a 38-31 overtime defeat at Eastern Washington in the 2010 quarterfinals, and it was 83-6 since the beginning of the 2011 national championship season. Yet, while the Dukes win was an upset, it wasnt a shocker. They havent lost to an FCS opponent, are on an 11-game winning streak and have outscored three opponents in the playoffs 147-46.Junior quarterback Bryan Schor threw for 242 yards and a touchdown to three different receivers. One went to 5-foot-11, 220-pound senior Khalid Abdullah, who looked like an NFL running back while gashing the formidable Bison defense with speed and elusive cuts for 180 yards on 23 carries.Defensively, linebackers Dimitri Holloway and Gage Steele were all over the field with 16 and 11 tackles, respectively. North Dakota State managed only 132 rushing yards -- 117 below what had been its season average.I thought we did a great job running the football up front, Houston said. Khalid and our offensive line kind of got us going, we got some field position, we were able to control the ball and really keep North Dakota States offense off the field. And our defense played lights out tonight. What a performance.James Madison took the lead for good 20-17 on Tyler Grays career-long 45-yard field goal with 11:46 to play, and Schor extended it on their next possession by connecting with wide receiver John Miller for a 25-yard touchdown.Grays go-ahead kick nearly didnt happen. Bison defensive lineman Brad Ambrosius jumped offside when Schor was trying a pooch punt on 4th-and-19 at the Bison 33. The penalty moved the ball to the 28, and the Dukes let Gray try the field goal even though he had never kicked one longer than 33 yards.We came in, we knew it was going to be loud, we knew it was going to be a lot of adversity. But we expected to come in here and win, said Abdullah, whose 231 all-purpose yards were a career high.Good football player, NDSU coach Chris Klieman said of Abdullah. We missed some (tackles).When James Madison took a 17-0 lead in the first half, it handed North Dakota State the largest deficit of its FCS playoff history -- all this decade. The Dukes had touchdown drives of 87 and 72 yards, with Schor sandwiching touchdown passes to tight end Jonathan Kloosterman (14 yards) and Abdullah (10) around a 24-yard field goal by Gray.But it was the second straight week that North Dakota State erased a double-digit deficit, as it scored the final 36 points of a 36-10 win over South Dakota State in the quarterfinals last Saturday.NDSU got a much-needed touchdown just before the game reached halftime. Fullback Chase Morlock capped an 11-play drive with a 3-yard run which pulled the Bison within 17-7 with 1:36 left.They got the ball to start the second half and Cam Pedersen ended the possession with a 45-yard field goal. King Frazier later rushed for a 16-yard touchdown on their second possession, tying the game 17-17.But the fourth quarter -- and the game -- belonged to James Madison.North Dakota States first win of its first FCS championship season in 2011 was against the Dukes.

It was the longest match of both players careers.Pella beat Kyle Edmund 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-3, 6-2, meaning the Argentines can clinch victory with a day to spare in Glasgow if they win the doubles on Saturday. Federico Delbonis and Leonardo Mayer are scheduled to play the Murray brothers, Andy and Jamie.Whether Andy Murray plays is open to question.Being taken the distance against Del Potro was exactly what Murray didnt need at the end of his long summer of tennis in which he won both the Wimbledon and Olympic titles for the second time. He looked almost out on his feet at times in an energy-sapping final set, and couldnt handle the barrage of forehand shots by the rejuvenated Del Potro.Im very proud of how I fought, I did fantastic, Murray said. I fought for every point, tried as best as I could.dddddddddddd Thats all you can do.It was very fine margins. That happens in tennis and sport sometimes. It could have gone either way.Del Potro gained the crucial break in the fifth set at the third opportunity, reaching Murrays angled volley with a forehand winner down the line to go 4-3 ahead, and he served out for the match, clinching victory with an ace and a big growl.Murray had never previously lost a home singles match in the Davis Cup.Del Potro, the 2009 US Open champion, is a force in tennis once again after returning from three wrist operations that nearly ruined his career. He is Argentinas top player but is ranked a lowly No. 64 on his comeback trail, meaning he had to play Murray in the opening match.I cannot imagine this moment in my career, Del Potro said. This was the type of match I was missing when I was at home.Argentina is playing its 11th Davis Cup semifinal in 15 years. The south American country has never won the team event, finishing runner-up in 1981, 2006, 2008, and 2011. ' ' '
