                           HON. ERIK PAULSEN

                       Tuesday, November 27, 2018

  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Minnetonka 
Girls Soccer Team on winning the Minnesota state high school 
championship. After narrowly the state championship game last year, the 
Skippers redeemed themselves with a 1-0 victory over Wayzata to finish 
the season and take home the state title. Minnetonka scored a goal in 
the first minute of play and held the lead for the remainder of the 
game.
  Soccer requires teamwork, cohesiveness, agility and physical rigor. 
While the Skippers' girls mastered these skills to capture their third 
state title, it's also important to point out that these student 
athletes excel in other areas off the field. Keeping up with their 
studies and being involved in other community activities is also a 
hallmark of their success.
  Congratulations to the players, coaches, parents and fans on being 
high school champs.
