  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in tribute to the Marcellus 
girls varsity soccer team. The team had an outstanding season with a 
record of 23 wins, one tie, and one loss. They rose to become the 
section III class B champions, defeating Skaneateles, South Jefferson, 
and Ilion.
  The team continued on to become the New York State class B regional 
champions defeating Chartham and Potsdam and became State champions 
defeating Alden by a score of 4 to 2 and Oneonta by a score of 1 to 
zero. The girls were all named Channel 9 Athletes of the Week on 
account of their many accomplishments.
  In addition to their dedication to athletics, the team has also 
demonstrated outstanding academic achievement. All the girls on the 
team were selected as New York State Public High School Athletic 
Association Scholar Athletes.
  The team includes Sami Boyle, Maureen Dooley, Jenna Farneti, Kelly 
Hanlon, Candy Hoffman, Jocie Jankowski, Alyssa MacLachlan, Meghan 
Mannion, Alyse O'Brien, Katie O'Laughlin, Sarah Potter, Jessie 
Reynolds, Amanda Stessen, Hannah Vaughn, Sarah Vulcano, Katie Walter, 
Amy Ware, Jennifer Young, Katie Young, and Katie Zimmerman. These girls 
are a source of pride to our community and should be commended for 
their hard work and dedication.
