Kohs Commits To NKU

By Mike Dyer

Lakota West sophomore Cassie Kohs has orally committed to play volleyball at Northern Kentucky University. Kohs, a 5-10 middle hitter, has improved significantly, said Lakota West coach Tracey Kornau.

"Cassie is such a hard worker and she has improved a ton in the offseason," Kornau said. "She works out very rigorously with our strength coach (Lauren Laskowski) and I expect her to be one of the top players in the league if not the city over the next two years."

Kohs said she enjoyed the proximity of the campus.  "I really loved the campus," she said. "It isn't too far from home and they're going Division I in 2008. Basically, it is a perfect opportunity for me." 

Kohs is uncertain as to her field of study, but could be interested in communications or education, according to Lakota West.
