(STATS) -- It was clutch, miraculous and just enough to get Youngstown State back to a place it used to go to frequently:The FCS national championship game.Redshirt junior tight end Kevin Rader caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Hunter Wells with 1 second remaining to lift Youngstown State to a 40-38 victory over No. 2 seed Eastern Washington in a national semifinal Saturday at frigid Roos Field in Cheney, Washington.The Penguins (12-3) will play No. 4 seed James Madison (13-1) in the national final Jan. 7 in Frisco, Texas. Although they are appearing in the playoffs for the first time in 10 years, the program won four FCS (then NCAA Division I-AA) national titles in the 1990s and has been the runner-up twice. They are 29-7 all-time in the playoffs.The winning drive came after Eastern Washington (12-2) took a 38-34 lead on wide receiver Shaq Hills 1-yard run with 4:24 left.Following a squib kick by Eastern Washington, the Penguins drove 58 yards on 11 plays. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Rader caught his winning touchdown in the rear of the Eagles end zone when he wrapped his right arm under linebacker Ketner Kupps arm and secured the football on the defenders back with his feet on the ground before he was pushed out of bounds.They played it very well, that linebacker walled me off. He played it pretty much perfect, Rader said. I saw the ball in the air and I made the play on it.I didnt have a good look at it, YSU second-year coach Bo Pelini said. All I could hear is the guys right next to me going, He caught it, he caught it, he caught it.An officials review of the play confirmed the touchdown. Ahead 40-38, the Penguins took a knee on the extra point to avoid risking a blocked kick that Eastern Washington could return for two points. On the ensuing kickoff, the Eagles went through a number of laterals before the Penguins downed Cooper Kupp with the ball to end the game.It was a heck of a football game. A real crazy way to end it, Pelini said. We had guys making plays all night, they had guys making plays in tough conditions.Tevin McCaster rushed for 154 yards and three touchdowns and the Penguins won despite facing as much as a two-touchdown deficit (24-10) in the second quarter.The Penguins also overcame a tumultuous week in which there were reports of key players being suspended for the semifinal because of positive NCAA drug tests following the teams second-round win over Jacksonville State on Dec. 3.While Pelini and school administrators did not confirm or deny the suspensions during the week, the short-handed Penguins played without second-leading rusher Martin Ruiz; wide receiver Darien Townsend, who leads the team in receiving yards; and safeties Jameel Smith and LeRoy Alexander, their No. 2 and 3 tacklers, respectively.The game-time temperature was 12 degrees and it eventually dipped below 0 with wind chill. Eastern Washingtons Gage Gubrud passed for 353 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions. Cooper Kupp had 10 receptions for 180 yards and two TDs, including one from Sam McPherson on a halfback option pass.Much of Eastern Washingtons aerial assault came in the first half. The Penguins running game grew more effective in the second half, with Jody Webb finishing with 101 of their 263 yards on the ground.In fact, Youngstown State outgained the Eagles more prolific offense 506-478. Wells was 16 of 24 for 243 yards, also throwing an 11-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Alvin Bailey to pull Youngstown State within 31-27 early in the fourth quarter.They might have changed a few things, and I felt like they were getting decent pressure, so sometimes it was a little tougher to let some things develop, Eagles coach Beau Baldwin said. We ran only so many plays, too, in the second half, so there werent as many opportunities. We were still able to get a two-score lead going into the fourth quarter.The loss marked the fourth time Eastern Washington has fallen in the FCS semifinals. The Eagles won their only title in 2010.Gubrud wound up passing former Old Dominion quarterback Taylor Heinickes FCS single-season record of 5,076 passing yards, finishing with 5,160. His 5,766 yards of total offense set the Big Sky Conferences single-season mark.NFL-bound Cooper Kupp ended his amazing career with 428 receptions, 6,464 receiving yards and 73 touchdown receptions -- all Division I records.But the passing play that will be forever remembered in the thrilling semifinal was Wells-to-Rader-to-the-FCS-final.I knew if he threw me the ball, Rader said, I had to come down with it.

The New Zealand Breakers have managed a rare win at Perth Arena, beating the Wildcats 87-86 in overtime on Sunday.It wasnt pretty, but wins against the Wildcats in Perth rarely are. Corey Webster went coast to coast and scored a lay-up with 1.40 second left on the clock to give the Breakers the lead.Jaron Johnsons three-point attempt on the buzzer wasnt to be and it rimmed out.It helped the visitors cause that Casey Prather was sidelined for the entire extra-time period with five fouls.Jameel McKay also missed most of the second half and adds to the Wildcats injury woes as they are already missing captain Damian Martin for an extended period.The two points from Webster gave him 20 for the game, with only Perths Matt Knight ahead of him on the night.Knight kept the Cats close earlier in the game when the Breakers were clearly on top.He finished with 24 points and 13 rebounds, as the home side dominated the boards, 59-40.But for most of the game, they couldnt get their offence going and finished with an average 38 per cent from the field.The Breakers victory was their first in Western Australia in six years.For most of the game, the Wildcats were unrecognisable as the reigning NBL champions.Without Martin, their defence was way undermanned.ddddddddddddohnson, who electrified the crowd a week ago, had two points at 14 per cent at the half and finished with 12 points and went 0-6 from beyond three-point range.The Breakers led 46-41 at half-time, but it felt as though they had a greater advantage.

He had a game-high 14 points at the break.He scored three of them in that last minute, created two steals and assisted Matt Knight to two points to keep the Cats chances of an 11-game home winning streak alive.That chance went out of the window with 3.55 minutes left on the clock when he was forced to the bench with 20 points and five fouls.Breakers coach Paul Henare said he didnt know how his side was able to overcome such a beating in rebounds (59-40).Thats an unbelievable number, he said.The Wildcats are the best rebounding team in the competition. You talk about it and you prepare for it and then you talk about it again. ' ' '
