 Congratulating the Arizona State University women's softball team for

                         Softball Championship.

Whereas, on June 3, 2008, the Arizona State University women's softball team (in 
        this preamble referred to as the ``ASU Sun Devils'') won the 2008 
        National Collegiate Athletic Association Women's College World Series 
        Softball Championship by defeating the women's softball team of Texas A 
        & M University by a score of 11 to 0;
Whereas that victory marks the first championship title for the ASU Sun Devils;
Whereas the ASU Sun Devils now hold the Women's College World Series record for 
        the largest margin of victory in a championship game;
Whereas the ASU Sun Devils beat opponents by a combined score of 24 to 2 in 5 
        Women's College World Series wins and completed the season with 66 wins 
        and 5 losses and a perfect 10 and 0 mark in the postseason; and
Whereas ASU Sun Devils pitcher Katie Burkhart finished with 5 wins and 53 
        strikeouts in the Women's College World Series and earned Most Valuable 
        Player honors: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) congratulates the Arizona State University women's 
        softball team for winning the 2008 National Collegiate Athletic 
        Association Division I Women's Softball Championship; and
            (2) recognizes the players, coaches, and support staff who 
        were instrumental in that achievement.
