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;

        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
