  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate 
Elizabeth City State University women's basketball team and North 
Carolina Wesleyan University men's basketball team for their remarkable 
championship wins this past weekend.
  For Elizabeth City State University, this impressive achievement is 
the first CIAA championship win in the institution's 132-year history. 
The Lady Vikings showed everyone in the arena that teamwork brings home 
triumph.
