                        Thursday, March 25, 2004

  Mr. TURNER of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, today congratulations are in order 
for the Wilmington (OH) College Lady Quakers Basketball team. Last 
Saturday, March 20, 2004, the Lady Quakers won the NCAA Division III 
national championship by defeating the previously unbeaten, and top-
ranked, Bowdoin College Lady Polar Bears, 59-53.
  Special congratulations to the Lady Quakers' Tara Rausch who was 
selected Final Four MVP as well as first team All-American; Amy Kincer 
who was named to the all-tournament team; and Wilmington head coach, 
Jerry Scheve, on the team's 27-6, championship season.
  The Wilmington College Lady Quakers' NCAA Division III 2004 national 
basketball championship is a testament to the team's commitment to 
excellence, upholding the best traditions of this country's true 
scholar-athletes.
  I ask my colleagues as well as all citizens of the Ohio Valley to 
join me in congratulating the faculty, staff, parents and friends of 
Wilmington College on completing an exciting and memorable championship 
season.
