WKU AthleticsWestern Kentucky tennis coach Jonatan Berhane announced Tuesday that Bowling Green native Cassie Pennington has been added to the coaching staff as a student assistant coach.
Pennington, currently a redshirt junior, was sidelined during her freshman year with the team due to a severe back injury.
“I share Cassie’s pain in her retirement from active court play, but I am pleased to welcome her as a member of the coaching staff,“ Berhane said. “This is the right decision, and the team will benefit from her passion and knowledge of the game in a different way.
