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.
