Congratulating Syracuse University for winning the National Collegiate 
       Athletic Association Division I Men's Lacrosse Tournament.

Whereas, on May 25, 2009, the Syracuse University Orange defeated the Cornell 
        Big Red 10-9 in overtime, in the finals of the National Collegiate 
        Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Men's Lacrosse Tournament in 
        Foxboro, Massachusetts;
Whereas the Orange now hold 11 men's lacrosse national titles, the most in NCAA 
        History;
Whereas Orange head coach John Desko won his fifth NCAA title;
Whereas the Orange players, coaches, and staff are excellent representatives of 
        Syracuse University;
Whereas the Orange showed tremendous spirit in the championship game, coming 
        back from what appeared to be an insurmountable three-goal deficit with 
        less than four minutes to go, only to win the game in overtime; and
Whereas the residents of Syracuse and fans are to be congratulated for their 
        support, dedication, and pride in the team: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives congratulates Syracuse 
University for winning the National Collegiate Athletic Association 
Division I Men's Lacrosse Tournament.
                                 <all>
