One of this year's varsity Co-captains, Laura Davies, said that Fowler's former teammates do not have any trouble accepting her new role.
"As a captain she was always one of the leaders, a role model to the other players. We've always looked up to her," she says.
And any problems from the coach's point of view?
"Absolutely not," Caples says, "The job is tough. It takes an excellent teacher and communicator, because all of the J.V. players have different goals. Kristen is perfect for it."
In the future, Fowler says she would like to travel for a while and then definitely end up coaching. But since college coaching is a full time job requiring an enormous time commitment, Fowler says she'll probably focus on coaching at the high school level.
After she graduates school, that is.
