minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PLASKETT. Mr. Speaker, this month is not only Women's History 
Month, but it is also Virgin Islands History Month, and what better way 
to celebrate it than today for me to salute Virgin Islands' native and 
basketball upcoming star, Aliyah Boston, who had another dominant 
performance in South Carolina's 67-62 win over Georgia in the SEC 
tournament final.
  Boston put up 27 points and 10 rebounds for her 15th double-double of 
the year, and was named the tournament MVP as South Carolina captured 
its sixth championship in the last 7 years.
  ``Aliyah was huge,'' said Coach Dawn Staley after the game. ``She has 
to be that dominant in order for us to win these kind of basketball 
games.''
  Aliyah, you are huge. You are dominant. And what better way to 
recognize Women's History Month and Virgin Islands History Month by a 
Virgin Islander and a woman making history.
