 CONGRATULATING THE UCONN FIELD HOCKEY TEAM ON THEIR HISTORIC NATIONAL 
                              CHAMPIONSHIP

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOE COURTNEY

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 6, 2018

  Mr. COURTNEY. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the latest 
achievement of the University of Connecticut Women's Field Hockey team. 
On Sunday, November 19, 2017, the UConn women celebrated a 2-1 win over 
the University of Maryland in the National Collegiate Athletic 
Association's Division I Field Hockey championship. The victory marked 
the 23rd straight win of the Huskies' historic undefeated season.
  The championship is the fifth in UConn field hockey history, and caps 
the sixth perfect season in all of NCAA field hockey history. The 
team's senior class is also the most successful in the school's 
history, with a record of 87-6 and a pair of national championships.
  The victory was Coach Nancy Stevens' third championship title. 
Stevens, who is field hockey's winningest coach, has brought much 
success to UConn. In the past five seasons alone under Stevens, UConn 
has won three of those five national championship titles.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to please join me in congratulating 
the University of Connecticut Field Hockey team on yet another 
successful season. May their win be an example to all, that with hard 
work, dedication, and passion, greatness is within reach.

                          ____________________
