Head coach Greg Reitz has announced that Brandon Dau has signed a letter of intent to continue his volleyball career at Lourdes University.
 
Dau arrives at Lourdes from Orange Coast College where he spent the last two seasons, helping the Pirates to the state championship as a freshman in 2013.  Dau appeared in 21 matches as a freshman, averaging 1.23 kills per set and hit .239 while registering 0.29 blocks per set.  As a sophomore, he tallied 1.45 digs per set in 21 matches.
 
"We are very excited to add Brandon to the roster," Reitz stated.  "He comes to us with a great deal of high level experience playing in the California Community College Association, including a state championship his freshman year.  He has competed as an outside hitter throughout his career and I expect him to do the same for us."
 
A native of Henderson, Nev., Dau was a First Team All-State selection for Coronado High School as a senior when he helped lead the Cougars to a state championship.  Dau also garnered Second Team All-State accolades during his junior year, and the Cougars advanced to the state finals all four seasons during his prep career.
 
Dau will enter Lourdes with two seasons of eligibility remaining.
