                       Wednesday, April 29, 2015

  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the Coppell 
High School girls soccer team and their recent victory in the 2015 UIL 
6A State Championship game. Coppell defeated then-unbeaten Highland 
Park High School by a score of 3-0, giving the Cowgirls their second 
state championship.
  The Cowgirls, led by longtime coach Chris Stricker, finished the 
season undefeated with 28 wins, three ties, and zero losses, making 
them only the 9th UIL girls soccer champion to finish a season without 
a loss. What makes this championship victory that much more impressive 
is the difficult road the Cowgirls had to traverse, beating nationally 
ranked teams like Plano West just to get into the State tournament. Not 
only did Coppell finish the season as the best team in Texas, they were 
ranked the #1 team in the nation by Top Drawer Soccer. The achievements 
and accomplishments attained this season by the Cowgirls, listed below, 
cannot be understated and are deserving of the highest praise.
  Seniors: Rachel Johnson #00, Cami Studebaker #6, Grace Vowell #8, 
Liat Even #10, Christina Liu #12, Rachel Koury #18, Sarah King #21, 
Tara Vishnesky #22
  Juniors: Kristen Racz #5, Maddie Dickson #11, Madeline Guderian #13, 
Kate Kaiser #16, Ashleigh Little #25, Emma Jett #27, Shay Johnson #31
  Sophomores: Kelly Rohe #0, Maddie Weber #1, Erian Brown #7, Tori 
Teffeteller #26, Sarah Houchin #30
  Freshmen: Italia Bradley #3, Tyler Runnels #9, Sydney Andrews #20, 
McKenzie McFarland #23
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the 24th Congressional District of Texas, I 
ask all my distinguished colleagues to join me in honoring this great 
achievement by the Coppell High School girls soccer team.
