"We are excited for the future of BGSU Volleyball," said Senior Associate AD and Senior Woman Administration Stacy Kosciak.

In her ninth season at the helm of the Falcons, Tomic led Bowling Green to the program's third MAC Regular Season Championship in the last four years as well as the team's first MAC Tournament Championship and NCAA Tournament berth since 2012. The Falcons accomplished a 20-1 mark in the regular season, including an 18-0 start to the season, being the best start to a season in BGSU Athletic department history and the most consecutive wins in program history.

At the season's conclusion, Tomic was named the MAC Coach of the Year, her second time collecting the award, doing so in 2017 as well. Tomic was also named the AVCA Northeast Region Coach of the Year. The Falcons saw Katelyn Meyer, Petra Indrova and Hanna Laube being named All-MAC First Team with Katie Kidwell being named to the Second Team. Indrova was also named AVCA All-Region Honorable Mention. As for the MAC Tournament, Meyer was named the MVP with Indrova and Jacqueline Askin being named to the All-Tournament Team as well.

"I want to thank President Rogers and Director of Athletics Bob Moosbrugger for their continued trust in me to lead the volleyball program," said Coach Tomic. "I am grateful for all the student-athletes, past and present, and my current staff, Alex DelPiombo and Alison Cooke, who have helped me build a strong and special championship culture. The future is bright for BGSU Volleyball with the current roster and future Falcons. I am happy to call Bowling Green home and excited to continue building on the successes we had last season and making our great university and community proud."

Over nine seasons at the helm of the Falcons, Tomic has tallied a 149-121 record, including being 97-52 within conference play.
