We want to make the most of what we have right now.Geitz, one of only three players to have featured in Queenslands two trans-Tasman title wins to date, said on Thursday she is undecided on her future and that the result of Sundays decider against the NSW Swifts could sway her.Im still open to playing on but I havent made any firm decisions, she wrote in a column for News Corp.Ill wait and see what Sunday brings and that might determine what happens.The Firebirds can finish the trans-Tasman era as the competitions most successful franchise if they can claim their third title on Sunday.The Adelaide Thunderbirds and Melbourne Vixens are the only other teams to have won two grand finals.Were approaching this game like any other game - but these things are on our mind, Simpson said.We really would like to be able to step up and make history, like any team would.Weve got a lot of things motivating us but I guess thats just an extra one.

Hazard cut in from the left and scored with a swerving right-footed shot for ninth goal of the season, which proved to be enough for the victory despite Chelseas forwards again lacking a cutting edge up front. (STATS) -- Its no longer outlandish to consider a North Dakota State football appearance on national television as, well, normal.Third-year coach Chris Klieman doesnt believe its quite reached that level, but the top-ranked and five-time defending national champion Bison are the one FCS team that can treat a game like Saturday nights FCS Kickoff against No. 7 Charleston Southern as just another game.The Kickoff at the raucous Fargodome and NDSUs third game at Iowa are both being broadcast on ESPN.All the exposures great, Klieman said. We recruit to it, we talk about it, our incoming kids, kids that were recruiting, we utilize that because, hey, you can watch us on Aug. 27. I dont care where youre at in the country, you can flip it on and see.Even if the game wasnt going to draw a million-plus viewers, it would still be a huge early season matchup -- the third annual Kickoff which matches two intersectional powers. NDSU lost at Montana 38-35 in last years game, but the Bison dynasty came back to defeat the Grizzlies in the FCS playoffs on the way to capturing another national title.NDSU finished 13-2 and atop the STATS FCS Top 25, and Charleston Southern was 10-3 and sixth. Saturdays first meeting between them is the first Kickoff matching two teams in the preseason Top 10.We cant allow the moment to be too big, said CSU coach Jamey Chadwell, whose team won the Big South title and reached the national quarterfinals a year ago.Weve got to get off to a good start and let them know were there to play. Thats the thing weve really worked hard on is to let our guys know, You deserve this opportunity, so dont let the moment be too big for you. If well do that, we like our team, too. I like our chances to compete, fight and put ourselves in a position to win.NDSU has become a staple on ESPN networks, including the many playoff appearances and two visits by the iconic GameDay road show, and it regularly draws national media attention. Charleston Southern reached the FCS playoffs for the first time last season and is just gaining national status, although its come quickly under the successful Chadwell.While the Bison likely have more of a comfort level playing in the national spotlight, Klieman believes the venue is important as well.We havent played at home for the first game since 2012, Klieman said. Its hard to prep to go on the road that first game. We assumed we knew what we were going into (at) Montana (with) noise -- it was way louder than we thought. We assumed wee knew what we were getting into with Iowa State (in 2014) -- it just was a different attitude and it was so much hotter.dddddddddddd We know the atmosphere were playing in at Gate City Bank Field.All six NDSU home games are sold out at the 18,700-seat Fargodome. The Missouri Valley Conference power has gone 48-4 there since 2010.---=FCS GAME OF THE WEEK=The Matchup: No. 7 Charleston Southern (0-0) at No. 1 North Dakota State (0-0)Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday at the FargodomeTelevision: ESPNSeries: First meetingThe Skinny: Who is going to give up the ball? Sure, all teams strive to force turnovers and avoid committing them, but long drives fuel both of these offenses. Last season, NDSU led the FCS in time of possession (36 minutes, 38 seconds), while Charleston Southern ranked first in the Big South and 10th in the nation (33:12).The visiting Buccaneers are 13-1 in August and September games through coach Jamey Chadwells first three seasons, including wins in each opening game. Junior QB Kyle Copeland will run the read option, which can rotate running backs with seniors Darius Hammond, Mike Holloway and Ben Robinson (they figure to have fresh legs in the second half). Last seasons record-setting defense must remain on the same high level to contain North Dakota States downhill rushing attack. DE Anthony Ellis (17.5 TFL, seven sacks) is the defensive star and LB Solomon Brown is coming off Big South freshman of the year honors.NDSU has won 17 straight home openers and 42 straight home games against non-conference opponents. After going 8-0 as a starter while Carson Wentz was injured last season, sophomore QB Easton Stick returns with a great sense of the offense. King Frazier (1,158 yards, 11 TDs) remains the featured running back, but a bigger, stronger Bruce Anderson will gain yards in big chunks as well. The offensive line is without one of its three returning starters, center Austin Kuhnert, because of a two-game NCAA academic suspension. The front seven of the 4-3 defense is experienced, led by MLB Nick DeLuca and DE Greg Menard, but sophomore cornerbacks Jalen Allison and Jaylaan Wimbush are new starters.Prediction: Former Big South member Coastal Carolina troubled NDSU in the FCS playoffs two years ago, but once NDSU has its power run game going, it should wear down the Charleston Southern defense. North Dakota State, 34-17. ' ' '
