                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 4, 2017

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the hard work and 
skill of the Clarkson University Women's Hockey Team, who just ended 
their already impressive season by winning the NCAA Division I 
championship.
  Led by Coach Matt Desrosiers, the Golden Knights defeated the number 
one seeded Wisconsin Badgers for the championship title. This is the 
team's second Division I title, with the Golden Knights being the only 
team outside of the Western Conference to ever win the championship.
  Under the leadership of seniors Corie Jacobson, Jessica Gillham, 
Genevieve Bannon, McKenzie Johnson and Carly Mercer, the team was able 
to regroup from a rough early season and achieve this impressive 
victory. Junior goaltender Shea Tiley was an instrumental part of this 
victory, allowing zero points against the strong Wisconsin offense.
  In New York's 21st District, we are incredibly proud of all of these 
women and their incredible achievements. I hope that their hard work 
and dedication serve as an inspiration for generations to come.
