                 CONGRATULATING STEVENS POINT POINTERS

 Mr. FEINGOLD. Madam President, I am pleased to offer my 
congratulations to the University of Wisconsin--Stevens Point Pointers 
men's basketball team on capturing their third national title after 
their exciting win in the 2010 NCAA Division III Basketball 
Championship. The Pointers' hard work year-round has made them widely 
respected, and this achievement has made many Wisconsinites and 
Pointers fans very proud.
  The team's perseverance and commitment to excellence throughout the 
season were on display during their journey to this year's title game, 
where guts and determination produced a thrilling game from start to 
finish. Despite being down by 10 points in the second half, the 
Pointers came back and defeated Williams College 78-73 to win the title 
and finish the year with a record of 29-4.
  These remarkable student-athletes, as well as Coach Bob Semling and 
his coaching staff, have continued the Pointers' winning tradition and 
admirably represented Wisconsin at the very highest levels of athletic 
competition. The Pointers represent the best of Wisconsin's competitive 
spirit. Congratulations once again to the University of Wisconsin--
Stevens Point community, and Head Coach Bob Semling, Assistant Coaches 
Lance Randall and J.R. Blount, and the student athletes of the 2010 
NCAA Division III Champions Pointers basketball team.
