French-born defender Thomas Vancaeyezeele has been the definition of durable and reliable in his three seasons with Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC, one of many topics I addressed in this week’s 1-v1 Pittsburgh Soccer Now interview!

Also on tap during the face-to-face conversation: His role on the team, both in terms of tactics and leadership, how he stays at a high level under a heavy workload, his developmental years in NCAA Division II, how his homeland influenced his style & how the Hounds can get revenge against New York this weekend at home.
