Leah Shaw and the Bowling Green Falcons are returning to the NCAA Volleyball Tournament for the first time in 21 years.

The Falcons punched their ticket by rallying from a two-set deficit to defeat Northern Illinois 20-25, 24-26, 26-24, 25-20, 15-4 in the Mid-American Conference Tournament finals Sunday afternoon in Geneva, Ohio.

The improbable comeback marked just the second time in MAC Tournament history that a team had come back from two sets down in the championship to win the match. The Falcons also overcame two match points to keep their season alive.
