         TRIBUTE TO UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate the University 
of Tennessee Lady Volunteers basketball team for yet another 
outstanding NCAA tournament. After an impressive record 34-2, the Lady 
Vols advanced through the NCAA tournament to face the undefeated 
University of Connecticut Huskies in the championship game yesterday.
  The Lady Vols were on the verge of their fourth NCAA title in the 
closing minutes of the final game. With only 4 minutes left, the 
Huskies rallied back to defeat Tennessee by 6 points--70-64.
  Mr. President, I want to commend these young women, as well as their 
head coach Pat Summitt and assistants Mickie Demoss, Holly Warlick, and 
Carolyn Peck for their hard work and dedication this year. They have 
made the University of Tennessee, the city of Knoxville, and the entire 
State of Tennessee proud.
  The seniors who played their last college basketball game yesterday 
should look back on a job well done and a season Tennesseans won't 
easily forget. And those team members who will be on the court next 
year can look forward to building upon the strong foundation they have 
helped establish this year.
  Again, I applaud the University of Tennessee Lady Volunteers for an 
outstanding season, and I look forward to many exciting seasons to 
come.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor.
