                 TWO CALIFORNIA TEAMS ON CHAMPIONS DAY

 Mrs. BOXER. Madam President, today I would like to honor two 
national collegiate championship teams from my State of California. 
They are great examples of team spirit and cooperation: the Santa Clara 
University women's soccer team and the Stanford University women's 
volleyball team.
  The Santa Clara University women's soccer team won the 2001 NCAA 
College Cup Championship this past fall. The team won its first 
national title in their fifth trip to the College Cup, and this is the 
first outright NCAA championship in the school's history.
  The members of the 2001 Santa Clara University women's soccer team 
are: Holly Azevedo; Jessica Ballweg; Emma Borst; Lana Bowen; Jaclyn 
Campi; Kristi Candau; Ynez Carrasco; Kerry Cathcart; Devvyn Hawkins; 
Bree Horvath; Anna Kraus; Leslie Osborne; Erin Pearson; Chardonnay 
Poole; Erin Sharpe; Katie Sheppard; Danielle Slaton; Alyssa Sobolik; 
Taline Tahmassian; Allie Teague; Aly Wagner; and Veronica Zepeda.
  I congratulate the team and their head coach, Jerry Smith.
  The Stanford University women's volleyball team won the 2001 NCAA 
National Championship this past fall. The team won its fifth national 
championship, which is a record.
  The members of the 2001 Stanford University women's volleyball team 
are: Michelle Chambers; Tara Conrad; Sara Dukes; Leahi Hall; Jennifer 
Harvey; Jennifer Hucke; Ashley Ivy; Emily Lawrence; Robyn Lewis; Sara 
McGee; Ogonna Nnamani; Anna Robinson; Sara Sandrik; and Logan Tom.
  I congratulate the team and their head coach, John Dunning.
  Both teams are an inspiration to all, especially to young women and 
girls who are themselves members of sports teams. I wish all the team 
members the best in whatever road they find themselves on after this 
great accomplishment.
