                               RESOLUTION


 
Congratulating the Northwestern University Wildcats on winning the 2009 
    NCAA women's lacrosse championship, and to commend Northwestern 
    University for its pursuit of athletic and academic excellence.

Whereas the Northwestern women's lacrosse team serves as important role models 
        to young athletes, demonstrating excellence on the athletic field and in 
        the classroom;
Whereas Northwestern defeated North Carolina 21-7 to win the national 
        championship on May 24, 2009;
Whereas Northwestern finished the season with a 23-0 record to win their fifth 
        straight national championship; and
Whereas senior Hannah Nielsen won the Tewaaraton Trophy, given to the Nation's 
        top player, and played a vital role in helping Northwestern to a 23-0 
        record in 2009, finishing her distinguished career as the Wildcats' all-
        time leader in points (398) after becoming the NCAA Division I all-time 
        assist leader with 224: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) congratulates Northwestern University and its athletes, 
        coaches, faculty, students, administration, and alumni on the 
        winning of the 2009 NCAA women's lacrosse championship;
            (2) recognizes and commends Northwest University for its 
        pursuit of athletic as well as academic excellence; and
            (3) directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to 
        make available enrolled copies of this resolution to 
        Northwestern University President Henry S. Bienen, Athletic 
        Director James Phillips, and Head Coach Kelly Amonte Hiller for 
        appropriate display.
