After a Sarah Angelos kill put Northern Illinois on top, a service error tied the score again at 24-24. But the Falcons had an attack error and Lauren Wicinski followed with a kill for the 26-24 win.
The third set was nip-and-tuck early and Northern Illinois held a slim 18-16 lead but the Huskies closed with a 7-2 run to put the match away.
NIU hit .284 for the match, holding Bowling Green to .179 attacking. The two teams each had 43 digs but the Huskies had 7.0 blocks, compared to 5.0 for the Falcons.
