South Dakota State volleyball announced Thursday the addition of transfer Hailee Blau to its 2020 squad. Blau played the past two seasons at Whatcom College.
"I'm very excited to announce that Hailee Blau will be joining our program," head coach Dan Georgalas expressed. "Hailee's left-handed attack, physical blocking presence, and ability to score points will be a great addition to our gym. She had a very successful season at her previous institution so I'm excited to see how she helps us replace the points lost by graduating seniors Makenzie Hennen and Ashlynn Smith."
Blau, Whatcom's 2019-20 Female Athlete of the Year, led her squad as a sophomore with 383 kills, averaging 4.07 kills per set. She paced the team with 62 blocks and a .253 hitting percentage. She helped her team to a 21-10 overall record, including a 11-1 mark in conference action. Additionally, Blau was named the North Region Most Valuable Player.
As a freshman, Blau played in three matches and averaged 2.78 kills per set on a .277 hitting percentage.
"Hailee is a great fit for our depth chart and I'm confident that she'll have a successful career at SD State," Georgalas said. "I look forward to being around her passion for volleyball and for her positive contributions to our team dynamic."
The incoming junior will have two years of eligibility to play for the Jackrabbits.
