     CONGRATULATING THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII MEN'S VOLLEYBALL TEAM

  (Mr. KAHELE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KAHELE. Mr. Speaker, today, just like I did 1 year ago to this 
day, I rise with extraordinary pride to congratulate the 2022 NCAA 
Men's Volleyball National Champions, the University of Hawaii Rainbow 
Warriors.
  This past Saturday our Hawaii Rainbows defended their title on the 
legendary court of Pauley Pavilion against Long Beach State University.
  Emulating their victory in 2021, they proved that lightning can 
strike twice by sweeping their opponent in a decisive three-set match. 
Our Warriors displayed acute focus, tenacity, and bold dominance, 
boasting a 27-5 season record while remaining undefeated at home.
  As a proud alumnus and former Rainbow Warrior volleyball player, I, 
along with the rest of Hawaii, congratulate our back-to-back national 
champions.
  ``Thanks very much.'' ``Mahalo nui loa'' to head coach Charlie Wade, 
the coaching staff, the UH athletics program, the Manoa Aunties, our 
loyal boosters, and dedicated fans who support our players on and off 
the court.
  To our 2022 NCAA Men's Volleyball Championship Team, ``all the 
best,'' ``no ka`oi,'' and Go `Bows!
