"Kassy is a tremendous person who also happens to be a great basketball player,” said MVNU head coach Steve Gregory. "As a coaching staff, we are thrilled with her decision to become a Lady Cougar next year. Kassy is a shooting guard who loves to shoot the three-pointer. She is also very intense on defense and has a real passion for the game of basketball.”

"I expect Kassy to come in and compete right away for playing time,” Gregory added. "She has done very well in the classroom and will add value to our team in leadership along with her Christian walk. She will also be a valuable addition to our campus community.”

In addition to playing basketball at Orrville High School, Workinger was a member of the volleyball team. She was on the Honor Roll all throughout high school and was the January Student of the Month. She was also inducted into National Honor Society.

"There are several reasons why I chose MVNU,” said Workinger of her college choice. "MVNU is a school where academics, leadership, character, and religion come first. I love this idea and the idea of how everyone is ready to help you in any way they can. I never thought I would end up going to MVNU, but once I visited the campus and became interest in this university I knew that this was the best place for me. The atmosphere of the people is amazing - smiles all day long, laughter, and friendship that grows stronger every day. The campus, academics, and people are so strong with their Christian life that it makes every day a chance for me to become what I have always wanted to be. I love MVNU and I am proud to have chosen this school.”

The Lady Cougars, who are an NAIA Division II school, finished the 2006-2007 season with an 11-17 overall record.
