Caple currently works at Frozen Ropes Training facility in Niles, IL. and is pursuing a masters degree in Higher Education Leadership studies from North Central College.

Coach, in the first long road trip of the year the Hounds struggled at the plate. What did you see?

Want them to come out and compete. They have a great venue at Benedictine, it is a good time to light a fire and get the job done. This is a good portion of the season in the next seven days. The guys are ready for it…
