  CONGRATULATING ROCHESTER COLLEGE MEN'S AND WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TEAMS

  (Mr. BISHOP of Michigan asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BISHOP of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
Rochester College men's and women's basketball teams for winning their 
respective fourth and first-ever USCAA championships.
  With a stingy defense and a strong will to win, the Rochester College 
men's team posted an insurmountable lead in their final game, beating 
the Oakwood University Ambassadors 80-61.
  Men's head coach Klint Pleasant said: ``In 20 years of having the 
privilege of coaching these young men, I can't think of a time I have 
ever been more proud. Toughness, resolve, commitment, and genuine 
relationships ruled the day.''
  The Rochester College women's team knocked off the first and second 
seed in the tournament en route to their championship, beating Paul 
Quinn College 72-57.
  Head coach Brent Wichtner summed up their team's success saying: ``I 
am so extremely proud of this team and the resiliency they have shown. 
This will be a day I will always remember.''
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to congratulate the talented, hardworking 
student athletes of Rochester College.
  Go Warriors.
