10 Questions with Brittany Forgues

The following article featuring Cornell forward Brittany Forgues appeared in the February 28 issue of the Cornell Daily Sun.

By Lance Williams

Before the women's hockey team battles No. 1-ranked Harvard in the ECAC Hockey quarterfinals this weekend, senior co-captain Brittany Forgues joined Sun Assistant Sports Editor Lance Williams for a leisurely skate around the ice. Williams is still trying to recover from Forgues' blindside body check.

1. I always start out on a serious note; so the women's hockey team has made the playoffs for the first time in your career. How does that feel?

It's great, we're really excited. It's obviously different because I've never gone to the playoffs, it's a new feeling for all of the seniors.

What about the team this year has made it so successful?

I think we brought in a great group of nine freshmen ...

Yeah I heard about them.

They're a great group of girls and we just get along really well. Not to say that we didn't get along in years past but this year it is even more so.
