“Coach Maria Kasza adds so much energy and enthusiasm to our program. She is very invested in program and player development,” Fralick said at the time of her hiring. “She goes above and beyond to make sure student-athletes are supported. I have been fortunate to work with Coach Kasza for the past four seasons and her passion for coaching and basketball is contagious. I am excited for the way she will impact the Michigan State University women’s basketball program.”
During her two years in DeKalb, Kasza helped the Huskies to a total of 34 wins, including an overall mark of 19-13 in her second season.

When Cameron was the Michigan Tech head coach, Kasza was assistant coach for five years. During that stretch, MTU made a pair of NCAA Division II Tournament appearances as well as winning a regular-season Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletics Conference championship in 2014-15.
Before joining the college ranks, Kasza spent two years coaching high-school basketball. She spent the 2010-11 season as the varsity assistant coach at her alma mater, Kalkaska High School, and she coached the Kalkaska Middle School’s seventh grade boys’ basketball team as well. In 2011-12, Kasza was the head coach of the freshman girls’ basketball team at Williamston High School.
A native of Rapid City, Michigan, Kasza earned her bachelor’s degree from Michigan Tech in 2009, while gaining her master’s degree in 2010. She spent three years with the Huskies’ women’s basketball team and was a part of back-to-back Elite Eight teams. She began her collegiate career at Northern Michigan.
