                         Monday, June 12, 2017

  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, today I proudly honor the Gettysburg College 
Women's Lacrosse Team on earning the NCAA Division III Women's Lacrosse 
Championship. The Gettysburg College Bullets earned a 6-5 victory over 
top-ranked The College of New Jersey to earn its second National 
Championship.
  With a record of 21-3, Gettysburg College tied the program record for 
most victories in a season, and eclipsed the program and conference 
record for goals against average at 4.79. The Bullets also defeated two 
number one teams this season for the first time in program history. 
Their accomplishments have earned the respect of their peers as the 
Bullets earned the top spot in the final Intercollegiate Women's 
Lacrosse Coaches Association Division III Coaches' Poll.
  I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Head Coach Carol Cantele and 
the school officials, family and friends that supported these young 
women on their incredible and impressive journey.
  On behalf of Pennsylvania's Fourth Congressional District, I commend 
and congratulate the Gettysburg College Women's Lacrosse Team on 
earning the NCAA Division III Women's Lacrosse Championship. Their work 
ethic and commitment to excellence serve as the standard for all to 
follow.
