BGSU Volleyball Upsets #13 BYU For First Win Over A Ranked Opponent In Program History
In 2012, BGSU Volleyball won a MAC Championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament's second round for the first time in program history. But one thing remained to be done -- beat a top 25 team. The Falcons finally broke through in 2013 in dramatic fashion, coming back from two sets down to defeat No. 13 BYU in the Stroh Center on Aug. 31. BGSU lost the first two sets 25-20 and 25-22 and then the Falcons trailed 22-20 in the third. But a BYU service error opened the door for a comeback and the Falcons hammered down four consecutive kills to earn the third set victory. Bowling Green never looked back, winning the fourth 25-21 and then jumping out to a 7-1 lead in the fifth en route to the victory.
