Mike Dau Not Just Another "Face in the Crowd"
Coach featured in most recent Sports Illustrated
  

Mike Dau's face can be found in June 9th's Sports Illustrated.
LAKE FOREST, IL - Lake Forest College handball coach Mike Dau '58 is listed in the June 9 Sports Illustrated "Faces in the Crowd" section. The weekly publication uses the section to recognize the exceptional accomplishments of athletes and coaches from around the nation.

The latest issue highlights the 23 United States Handball Association national championships claimed by Dau and the Foresters since 1969. Lake Forest's men's team has captured 11 titles, the women have won three, and the program has brought home nine combined championships.

Dau is the third Forester to be recognized in the section in recent history. Cross country runner and swimmer Joe Zemaitis '02 was in the November 16, 1998 edition and swimmer Rob Edgell '00 made the April 17, 2000 issue.

In addition to directing the handball program since its inception, Dau has also won more football games than any other head coach in school history. He still coaches the team's running backs.
