Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Penn State women's volleyball team's victory in the national championship. Penn State made history with its 3-1 win over Louisville in the NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship in front of a record crowd of over 21,860 fans. This was the Nittany Lions' eighth national title in the program's history. This victory didn't happen by chance. It is the result of relentless hard work, discipline, and teamwork. These women showed us what it means to commit fully. At every practice, every set, and every match, they gave their all. This success is possible because of the incredible leadership of the coaching staff, whose mentorship has shaped this team not only into champions, but also into outstanding young leaders. Penn State Coach Katie Schumacher-Cawley became the first woman coach to win the NCAA Division I volleyball title. The road to the championship wasn't easy for Coach Schumacher-Cawley. In October, she announced she was diagnosed with breast cancer. This championship win isn't just about a trophy. It is about a story of strength, resilience, and the values that define Penn State. These women make us all proud to wear blue and white. I congratulate Penn State women's volleyball on their national championship. We are. ____________________
