        Basketball Championship (referred to in this preamble as the ``national 
        championship'') by defeating Notre Dame by a score of 76 to 70, becoming

        White;

        team;
Whereas All-American Danielle Adams scored 30 points, the second-highest number 
        of points ever scored in a national championship game, and finished the

Whereas the Lady Aggies should all be commended for their teamwork;
Whereas Texas A&M University joins the ranks of the University of Texas, Baylor, 
        and Texas Tech as women's basketball national champions, demonstrating

Whereas the Lady Aggies have significantly advanced the sport of women's 
        basketball by demonstrating hard work and sportsmanship;
