                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 22, 1997

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
performance of New York University's 1997 National Champion women's 
basketball team. After compiling an incredible record of 29 wins and 1 
loss, New York University went on to a heart-stopping, last-minute 
victory over Wisconsin-Eau Claire in the Division III National 
Championship game.
  Led by Head Coach Janice Quinn, the winningest coach in New York 
University's women's basketball history, and team captains Jen 
Krolikowski and Marsha Harris, the Violets brought N.Y.U. its first 
basketball national championship ever. Marsha Harris' last-second layup 
to seal the Violets' come-from-behind victory also brought the city of 
New York its first basketball national champion in almost 20 years.
  The players, coaches, and athletic staff were rewarded for their hard 
work and dedication with a momentous achievement. The Violets' 
championship is a great accomplishment for New York University 
athletics, the university itself, and the entire community. I am proud 
to have New York University within my district.
