         PENNRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL WOMEN'S VARSITY SOCCER CHAMPIONS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Fitzpatrick) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
tremendous accomplishment of the 2020 Pennridge High School women's 
varsity soccer team.
  At a time when our schools were just reopening, the Pennridge women's 
soccer team seized the moment and went on to win their first PIAA Class 
4A title on November 21, 2020.
  This victory was years in the making, following a 2018 overtime loss 
in the final tournament game. Thanks to the visionary leadership of 
Coach Audrey Anderson, the Pennridge women's varsity team pushed past 
the adversity and clinched the championship win.
  With both teams battling through a contentious 80 minutes of 
regulation and 27 minutes of overtime, freshman forward Tori Angelo 
chipped a pass over to junior Leah Malone to score the game-winner with 
just a few minutes remaining.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to recognize these champions today for 
their leadership and their outstanding efforts in their 2020 season, 
and I formally enter their names in the Record:
  Head Coach Audrey Anderson, Assistant Coach Jason Lollar, Assistant 
Coach Erin Stevenson, captain Lindsey DeHaven, captain Leah Malone, 
captain Maddie Angelo, captain Emily Kriney, Sierra Shaeffer, Cady 
McKean, Anna Croyle, Zoe Sabol, Liv Grenda, Riley Hepler, Tori Angelo, 
Kera Dam, Casey Malone, Brielle Tasher, Jess Levush, Joey Tomlinson, 
Lauren Atchley, Lavi Baldovin, Lindsey Balmer, Raina Adelman, Sophie 
Craig, Aubrey Long, Avery Drumbore, Danae Luecke, Lauren Moylan, Maggie 
Hayes, Ryan Hodder, Sammi McBride, Sam Kiwak, and Phia Lowery.
  Madam Speaker, along with that victory, it is with a heavy heart that 
I recognize the team's assistant coach who recently passed away, Robert 
Lee Miller.
  Anyone who had the privilege of knowing Robert knows that he could 
always be found on the soccer field, lending his strengths and gifts to 
coach dozens of teams and mentor thousands of youth players.
  As our Bucks County community mourns his loss and remembers his 
passion for the game, I would like to offer a moment of silence for 
Robert Miller.
  Madam Speaker, we are incredibly grateful for the inspiration and 
impacts that the coaches of the entire Pennridge women's soccer team 
and, of course, the team's parents have had on our community. They are 
a tremendous asset.
  We are very proud of all of them, and I look forward to seeing them 
all and presenting them with flags individually that were flown over 
the U.S. House of Representatives.
