              CELEBRATING TEAM USA'S LACROSSE CHAMPIONSHIP

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Team USA's recent 
World Lacrosse Championship.
  On July 1, the U.S. defeated Canada 10-7 to claim the title. It was 
the second straight championship for the U.S. Men's team, and the 11th 
time in 14 tournaments that the U.S. has won it all.
  This year, the team was a perfect seven wins and zero losses through 
the tournament, and it scored an incredible 86 goals in seven games.
  The team was led by tournament Most Valuable Player Brennan O'Neill. 
As the youngest player on the U.S. national team, O'Neill scored 5 
goals in the final and scored 15 goals throughout the tournament. But 
it was O'Neill's goal with close to 2 minutes left that sealed the 
victory for the Americans.
  Again, I congratulate the U.S. team for its World Lacrosse 
Championship and hope we celebrate them again after next year's 
tournament.
