  CONGRATULATING THE UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA WESTERN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL 
                                  TEAM

  (Mr. GIANFORTE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GIANFORTE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
remarkable women's basketball team from the University of Montana 
Western in Dillon.
  The Bulldogs recently captured the NAIA Division I national title to 
close out a stellar season. The team's convincing 75-59 victory over 
the nine-time national champion, Oklahoma City Stars, brought the 
national title to Dillon, Montana.
  The school's first national title in women's basketball brought well-
deserved recognition to senior Brianna King, a two-time All-American 
and NAIA National Player of the Year.
  Ms. King, however, was not alone on the court. Fellow All-American 
Britt Cooper won the tournament's Hustle Award and Tori Anderson made 
All-Tournament First Team.
  The Bulldogs' head coach, Lindsay Woolley, led the team to the 
national title and was named the 2019 NAIA Coach of the Year.
  Congratulations to all the players and coaches. Your school and State 
are proud of you.
  All Montana is Bulldog Nation.
