                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIM GERLACH

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 21, 2003

  Mr. GERLACH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Owen J. 
Roberts High School Girls Soccer Team on their victory in the 2003 
Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Class AAA State 
Championship game on November 15, 2003.
   The Owen J. Roberts Wildcats set a school record for victories in a 
season on their way to capturing the school's first state championship. 
In the seven year history of the program, all under the guidance of 
Coach Joe Margusity, the Wildcats have compiled an amazing 138-31-6 
record. The team allowed only 11 goals in 28 games this season, which 
was enough to earn them gold medals by shutting out Butler High School, 
1-0, in the championship game at Hersheypark Stadium.
   Led by Head Coach Joe Margusity, and assistant coaches Josh Hoyt, 
Joe Baccille, and Chris Strango; the members of this championship team 
include Laura Ginnona, Becky Lesh, Brittany Bench, Julia Cupp, Jen 
Michener, Jess Carbo, Anna Bevan, Brooke Dotterer, Kristen Kaufman, Kim 
Roncase, Beth Stephens, Heather Manorak, Kristi Moltz, Kate Moltz, 
Ashley Nespor, Amber Cumins, Gayle Exley, Amber Hawkins, Rachel 
Michener, Jillian Morgan, Kristine Preski and Megan Levengood.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me today in 
congratulating the Owen J. Roberts High School Girls Soccer Team, the 
2003 PIAA Class AAA State Champions.
