Kasey opened up to us about her decision to come to Gillette College, stating "I chose Gillette College because of the academic, coaching staff, and the atmosphere around the team. Everyone was so nice and welcoming when I visited! I loved the drive to get better that the girls had and the support they gave one another. I also loved the small town atmosphere Gillette has, it reminded me a lot of my hometown!"
