WASHINGTON, DC - George Washington University volleyball coach Jojit Coronel has announced that Brianna DeBrock has signed a National Letter-of-Intent to play for the Colonials beginning in 2009. She is the second member of the Colonials' 2009 recruiting class joining 6-1 outside hitter Lauren Whyte.
A 6-foot-3 middle hitter from Phoenix, AZ, BeBrock helped lead her Xavier College Prep team to back-to-back Arizona 5A State Championships. She was named to the Second team 2008 class 5A volleyball for Arizona. She also competes for the Arizona Volleyball Academy.
"I'm excited to add Brianna to our incoming class of 2009 recruits," Coronel said.

She has a great personality and is a very bright young lady."
