                        Wednesday, March 8, 2023

  Mrs. KIGGANS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Virginia Wesleyan University Women's Soccer Team on their incredible 
season.
  This year, the team finished fourth in the NCAA Division 3 National 
Tournament. This was the Marlins' second trip to the Final Four in 
school history and the first trip since 2006. With an overall record of 
18 wins, three losses, and four ties, the Virginia Wesleyan Women's 
Soccer Team was the only unranked team to make the tournament this 
season.
  Featuring three All-Region players, two NCAA All-Tournament players, 
and one Third Team All American player, the Marlins earned their spot 
in the Final Four with a combination of impressive talent and 
unrelenting hard work. The Marlins left it all out on the field and 
should be proud of their accomplishment. As a female athlete myself, I 
congratulate them on their amazing season and wish them all the best 
moving forward.
  Again, congratulations to all the Virginia Wesleyan University 
Women's Soccer Team players, coaches, and fans on a historic and 
impressive season. Go Marlins.
