I thank the gentlewoman from yielding me this time. Madam Speaker, the University of Minnesota--Duluth women's hockey team achieved something truly extraordinary in the history of collegiate athletics in winning the NCAA hockey championship for the third year consecutively. It is a great tribute to the skill and stamina and determination of the women who have devoted themselves to this team and to each other and displayed an extraordinary kind of cooperative spirit that is characteristic of college athletics. It is notable that the report in the Duluth News Tribune on the championship game was written by a female reporter, and I will include the report on the game, the championship game, for the Record at this time.
