The three Yale teams that organize the drive each year -- field hockey, football and women’s ice hockey -- had a high standard to live up to in order to keep saving lives at such a rapid pace.

That fact was clear when the Bulldogs elected Holland as captain for the 2013 season this past December. Holland, the 43rd captain in Yale history, was selected by a team vote and is expected to be back to full health by the start of next season.
