EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan State field hockey team will feature a student-athlete every week this spring in attempt to "Meet the Spartans". This week junior Holly Sherman (West Vancouver, B.C.) sat down with msuspartans.com to answer some questions about her major and the different memories she has of Spartan field hockey. Sherman recorded one goal and two assists this season, with her goal being the game-winner in MSU's 6-4 victory over Ohio. In 2010, she was one of seven Spartans to start every game and was named both a member of the 2010 Gladiator by SGI/NFHCA Division I National Academic Squad and a 2010 Academic All-Big Ten honoree.
