                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 15, 2022

  Mr. KATKO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Syracuse 
University Men's Soccer team for winning its first NCAA Division I 
National Championship on December 12, 2022.
  Syracuse defeated the Indiana University Hoosiers in a thrilling 
national championship match, which ended with The Orange prevailing in 
a penalty kick shootout. The championship capped off an astonishing 
nineteen-win season, the best in school history. It also marks the 80th 
national championship in Syracuse Athletics history.
  I am honored to extend my congratulations to the entire Syracuse 
Orange Men's Soccer team including Head Coach Ian McIntyre, Associate 
Head Coach Jukka Masalin, and Assistant Coach Sean Lawlor. Our entire 
Central New York community is so proud.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues in the House join me in 
recognizing the Syracuse University Men's Soccer team on the first of 
many national championships.
