William H. Frist said "I offer this resolution with Senator Smith to congratulate the University of Portland women's soccer team for winning the 2002 NCAA Division I National Championship. This championship team achieved a lot of firsts. The women's soccer team is the first to bring home a national championship in any sport for the University of Portland. As the eighth seed in the NCAA tournament, the University of Portland Pilots were the lowest seeded team to ever win the national title in the women's national championship 21 year history. Sophomore player Christine Sinclair made a first by setting an NCAA tournament record with 21 points on 10 goals and 1 assist. The Pilots' road to victory included defeating 7 nationally ranked opponents, including the reigning champion, Santa Clara University. I am proud of these young women and their tremendous accomplishment." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
