On the recordJuly 10, 2019
Sunday morning, I did what I think most people in this Nation did if they were not in France. I turned on the television to watch the women's national soccer team perform in an incredible showing of talent and commitment on the soccer field. It was an incredible victory for the women's national team, and we are all very proud of what they were able to accomplish. This has been an incredible streak. Since the Women's World Cup was established in 1991, there have been eight competitions. The United States has won four--and the last two consecutively--beating the Netherlands on Sunday by a score of 2 to 0. We all congratulate the team. We are very proud. They represented our Nation extremely well. Each of us shares that pride. As a Maryland Senator, I want to acknowledge Rose Lavelle and Mallory Pugh, who are from the Washington Spirit, which is based in Germantown, MD.
