                          Monday, May 13, 2013

  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
University of Minnesota's women's ice hockey team for winning the 2013 
NCAA Women's Ice Hockey Championship. This victory marks their second 
consecutive NCAA championship title.
  The Lady Gophers finished the 2012-13 season with a perfect, 
unprecedented record--41 wins, 0 losses, and 0 ties. They are the first 
team in the 13-year history of NCAA women's ice hockey to finish the 
season with a perfect record.
  Head Coach Brad Frost, Assistant Coach Joel Johnson, Assistant Coach 
Nadine Muzerall, Volunteer Goalie Coach Andy Kent, and Director of 
Hockey Operations Eric Bakke also deserve recognition for their hard 
work in helping to lead the Gophers to a winning season.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Minnesota's Fourth Congressional District, 
I congratulate the University of Minnesota's women's ice hockey team on 
their exceptional performance. Good luck next year.

                          ____________________
