Haines on Holland- "Holland also transferred to us in January, and immediately established himself as a leader and top player for us. He comes to us as a three-year starter at left back from Wake Forest, so his experience in big games is going to be important for us. Holland was drafted by FC Dallas in his second day on campus, and it says everything about his commitment to being a successful student-athlete on and off the field - that he chose to stay with us this year to complete his MBA at HPU and play out his final season."
