         A TRIBUTE TO THE UCONN HUSKIES WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM

  (Mrs. KENNELLY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. KENNELLY. Mr. Speaker, this weekend I was lucky enough to be one 
of 8,000 people at Gampel Pavilion cheering the UCONN Huskies Women's 
Basketball Team on to their latest victory. We in Connecticut are 
thrilled that this dream season continues as this dream team advances 
to the final four.
  Rebecca Lobo, the Naismith player of the year and Husky coach, Geno 
Auriemma, Naismith coach of the year, led this team to an almost 
unbelievable undefeated season. Although their most recent victory was 
not quite the 35-point average margin of victory that they were used 
to, the proved to themselves and to us that through their composure, 
grit, and drive, they were able to overcome the nerves and the pressure 
that come with the final big games.
  This performance showed us just what a world-class team looks like. 
On behalf of myself and the entire State of Connecticut best of luck to 
the UCONN women as they follow their dream to Minneapolis. Go Huskies.
