Congratulating the Florida State University Seminoles softball team for 
   winning the 2018 National Collegiate Athletic Association Women's 
                         College World Series.

Whereas, on June 5, 2018, the Florida State University Seminoles softball team

        Washington Huskies 2-0 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma;
Whereas the Florida State University Seminoles softball team has competed in 10 
        Women's College World Series tournaments;
Whereas, in winning the 2018 Women's College World Series, the Florida State 
        University Seminoles softball team--

    (1) won its first Women's College World Series Championship; and

    (2) won Florida State University's 15th national championship in a team 
sport since the university began fielding intercollegiate athletic teams in 
1946;

Whereas the Florida State University softball team finished the season with a 
        record of 58 wins and 12 losses;
Whereas infielder Jessie Warren was named Most Outstanding Player of the 2018

        hits in a Women's College World Series;
Whereas pitcher Meghan King finished the Women's College World Series allowing
