           SUPPORT FOR THE U.S. WOMEN'S NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM

  (Ms. ROSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my support for the 
U.S. Women's National Soccer team which is currently playing in the 
World Cup. It was quite the match last night.
  Mr. Speaker, I give special recognition to the five players on the 
team

who have connections to my home State of North Carolina: Aubrey 
Kingsbury, who played at Wake Forest University; Lynn Williams, who 
played on the North Carolina Courage in my district; Casey Murphy, who 
currently plays on the North Carolina Courage; and Emily Fox and 
Crystal Dunn, who played at UNC and are currently on the North Carolina 
Courage.
  As we cheer them on and while they are representing the USA abroad, 
it is important that we also support them at home. We must ensure that 
all women athletes receive the same pay, treatment, and resources as 
their male counterparts.
  Mr. Speaker, I am so proud of all the strong, talented women on our 
national team. We are rooting for them.
