"When I stepped onto campus freshman year I never envisioned that I would consider my teammates and my coaches as family. By pushing each other to succeed both on and off the court, that dynamic grows stronger each day. I am so proud to wear Haverford on my chest and play the game that I love while being a part of something much larger than myself." –Sierra Berkel '18

“The original appeal was the dynamic nature of the sport. Once it starts, it keeps going. You have to figure out what’s happening on the fly.”—Adam Cann '06

The passion Megan Holt ’14 has for field hockey has sent her on an incredible journey. It started in her hometown of Bryn Mawr, continued at Haverford—where she was a field hockey team captain—and has taken her all the way across the world to Copenhagen, where she now lives and plays for a club team.
