   CONGRATULATING THE OHIO CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. STEVE STIVERS

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 20, 2013

  Mr. STIVERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Ohio 
Christian University men's basketball team on their first-ever National 
Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) National Championship 
win.
  Ending a perfect season, the OCU Trailblazers triumphed over the 
Arlington Baptist University Patriots with a score of 73-62. It was a 
very close game, and the Patriots had a one point lead by the end of 
the first half. However, the Trailblazers came back in the second half, 
limiting the Patriots to 24 points. The OCU defense shut down ABU in 
the final two minutes, leading the team to the championship title.
  Again, I extend my congratulations to the Ohio Christian University 
men's basketball team on their perfect season and NCCAA title. I am 
proud of all the hard work and dedication that has led to the team's 
accomplishments. These hardworking young men have brought pride to the 
people of Ohio's 15th Congressional District, and I commend them for 
this outstanding achievement.

                          ____________________
