                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, February 3, 2000

  Ms. SANCHEZ. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate this years 
national men's community college soccer champions, the Dons of Santa 
Ana Community College. After finishing the season with a 25-0 record 
and outscoring their opponents 147 goals to 17 goals, the team has 
proven its soccer dominance throughout the State of California.
  Coach Justo P. Frutos should be commended for leading his team to a 
victorious season. Over the past 2 years, the Dons have achieved what 
no other community college soccer team in California has accomplished, 
compiling an incredible 50-game unbeaten streak, including 47 straight 
wins and back-to-back state titles.
  I am proud to say that many of the team's players also received 
individual honors. Forward Thomas Serna was named the conference Most 
Valuable Player and selected All-American for the second straight 
season. Also, by virtue of the team's State championship, each player 
received the coveted honor of All-American. I would like to take this 
opportunity to acknowledge each team player. The Dons' roster included: 
Sasha Addeo, Andres Arroyo, Jose Barillas, Jose Barron, Keith Buckley, 
Martin Carrington, Robert Corona, Arnulfo Garcia, Luis Gutierrez, 
Alejandro Licea, Victor Licea, Carlos Rangel, Jose Retiz, Oscar Retiz, 
Fernando Rica, Fernando Rojas, Thomas Serna, Ruben Veliz, Sergio Viera, 
and Randy Zepeda.
  Once again, I congratulate the Santa Ana Community College Dons and 
their coaching staff. These hard-working individuals deserve our praise 
for their perseverance and discipline. We are very fortunate to have 
the Dons in Orange County.
