 To commend the Huskies of the University of Connecticut for capping a 
      perfect season by winning the 1995 NCAA Women's Basketball 
                             Championship.

Whereas UConn women's team won the school's first-ever national basketball 
        championship by defeating the University of Tennessee by the score of 
        70-64;
Whereas the UConn Huskies became only the second women's basketball team in NCAA 
        history to finish the season undefeated, and the first basketball team 
        of any kind in NCAA history to finish 35-0;
Whereas UConn Head Coach Geno Auriemma was the recipient of the Naismith 
        National Coach of the Year Award, as well as the Associated Press Coach 
        of the Year and the United States Basketball Writers Association Coach 
        of the Year awards;
Whereas UConn forward and co-captain Rebecca Lobo was the consensus choice of 
        those same organizations as the National Player of the Year, and was 
        named the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Women's Final Four;
Whereas Rebecca Lobo was also named the GTE Women's Basketball National Academic 
        All-American of the Year for her outstanding achievement in the 
        classroom;
Whereas the UConn Women Huskies enthralled the entire State of Connecticut, 
        providing it with one of its finest moments; and
Whereas the UConn Women Huskies elevated the sport of women's basketball to new 
        heights, and inspired a generation of young girls in Connecticut to 
        aspire toward their own ``hoop dreams'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate commends the Huskies of the University of 
Connecticut for capping a perfect season by winning the 1995 NCAA 
Women's Basketball Championship.
