              CONGRATULATING UALR WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM

  (Mr. GRIFFIN of Arkansas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. GRIFFIN of Arkansas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
the University of Arkansas at Little Rock women's basketball team for 
securing a spot in this year's NCAA basketball tournament.
  The game that put them into the tournament was an exciting one. The 
Lady Trojans came back from a 22-point deficit in the second half 
against Middle Tennessee and went on to win by one point in overtime.
  With Taylor Ford's game-winning shot, the lady Trojans earned their 
second straight Sun Belt Conference tournament title and their third 
straight NCAA berth.
  Congratulations to the entire UALR community, to Coach Joe Foley for 
his leadership this championship season, and to the student athletes on 
this year's team. Thank you all for representing your school, the city 
of Little Rock, and our great State of Arkansas.
  Good luck.
