2015 NCAA Division II Women's Volleyball Tournament Bracket
BIG RAPIDS, Mich. - One of the most memorable campaigns in school history came to a heart-breaking close on Saturday (Dec. 5) night as nationally second-ranked Ferris State University suffered a 3-2 setback to Rockhurst in the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional Championship match held inside FSU's Jim Wink Arena.
The top-seeded Bulldogs rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the match to force the fifth and deciding set before falling 15-7 to the second-seeded Hawks, who avenged an earlier sweep to the Bulldogs in regular-season action this year.
Ferris State, which was making its 20th all-time NCAA Division II Tournament appearance and hosting postseason action for the first time since 1989, had its memorable season come to a finish with a 33-3 overall record. The Bulldogs have twice reached the regional final in the last three years and also advanced to at least the regional semifinal each of the last five years.
