BRITTANY HAVERSTOCK »» WOMEN'S HOCKEY Badgering...
A senior defensmen from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Brittany Haverstock is the lone senior on the Badger blue line that looks to return to the NCAA Frozen Four for the third time in four years. Along with three other current Badgers, Haverstock recently trained with Team Canada at their National Women's Team September Camp/ Fall Festival.
Coming into your senior season, what are some of your goals for the year?
Definitely winning a national championship, that's kind of the way you want to go out as a senior. There are a lot of little goals that lead-up to the goal of winning a national championship, we need to work hard and learn from one another every day in practice.
You always hear about offense at UW, but what some of the defense's strong points?
We have great chemistry back on defense and we all get along super well. It's nice to have that connection and ability to know where everyone is at all the time. I think we all have great shots from the point and we're able to add a lot of offense to the game.
The lone senior on defense, what kind of leadership roles have you found yourself in?
I've been here the longest, so I guess you can say that I need to put my best foot forward every game. I just try to make sure that I lead by example.
Besides winning an NCAA championship, what has been your favorite moment at UW? Fill the Bowl against Minnesota, hands down. It was an awesome atmosphere in here as we broke the attendance record for women's hockey. Having all those fans behind you and knowing that they care about the program and where we're headed, it was awesome to see that.
