     CONGRATULATING THE MOORESTOWN HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS LACROSSE TEAM

  (Mr. ADLER of New Jersey asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. ADLER of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of all Burlington 
County residents, I rise today to congratulate the Moorestown High 
School girls' lacrosse team for winning their 10th straight New Jersey 
State Championship.
  As a father of four boys, I understand the importance of having 
sports and extracurricular activities in a young person's life. It 
encourages teamwork, a sense of pride and accomplishment, and 
responsibility. The Moorestown High School girls lacrosse team embodies 
all those attributes.
  Led by senior captains Karli Tobin and Alyssa Ogle, Moorestown High 
School beat Mountain Lakes High School 11-8. Junior Katrina Martinelli 
led the team in scoring with four goals and two assists, while Alyssa 
Ogle scored three goals, including the game winner.
  Head coach Deanna Knobloch has been with the team for 18 years. 
Winning 10 straight championships is no easy task, and I applaud her 
and her assistants, KC Knobloch, Julie Catrambone, and Courtney Legath. 
This championship marks the 210th win over New Jersey opponents over a 
full 10 seasons.
  Moorestown moves within one State title of tying the longest State 
championship winning streak. Again, congratulations to Moorestown High 
School girls lacrosse team, especially those seniors. I look forward to 
seeing you break that record.
  Go Quakers.
