              RECOGNIZING THE IOWA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a group of 
women in my district for their hard work that led to a historic game at 
Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
  On Sunday, the Iowa Women's Basketball team earned an impressive 88-
61 win in their Big Ten Conference opener against Michigan State.
  With almost 7,000 people in attendance at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, Lisa 
Bluder and her Hawkeyes showcased their court dominance with Caitlin 
Clark adding 24 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds, making her second 
triple-double in the six games since our season opener against New 
Hampshire.
  And the icing on top? All those watching got to see Coach Lisa Bluder 
earn her 800th career win, a monumental achievement, to be sure.
  Congratulations, Lady Hawkeyes, and give yourselves a pat on the back 
for all the hard work you put in during the off season. I look forward 
to seeing what else this team has in store in the coming months.
