Default Lookup returns blank if no match

I have a list of names in A1:A25, with corresponding dates in B1:B25 in
worksheet 1. In worksheet 2, I have a cell where I enter a name (C1) and a
cell where a date will go (D1). I want to enter the name in C1, have it go to
the list of names and look for a match. If a match is found, enter the
corresponding date into cell D1, if no match is found, leave it blank.

LOOKUP puts in the next item if no match. I tried VLOOKUP with ISNA around
it, but get a #REF if I try to change the data in C1
