FARGO, N.D. (AP) - Two women have rings of their own following North Dakota State University's win on Saturday in the Football Championship Subdivision title game - not championship rings but engagement rings.

WDAY-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1u2VopB ) that two NDSU players proposed to their girlfriends while fans were storming the field in Frisco, Texas, following NDSU's 29-27 win over Illinois State. It was the fourth consecutive national title for the Bison.

NDSU offensive lineman Zac Johnson proposed to Trisha Goerts, and offensive lineman Jesse Hinz proposed to Gretchen Folkerts. Both women said yes.

Hinz and Folkerts likely will wed this summer, while Johnson and Goerts are eyeing a summer 2015 wedding.
