                             HON. TED LIEU

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, June 3, 2024

  Mr. LIEU. Mr. Speaker, I use today to celebrate the women's water 
polo team from the University of California, Los Angeles. They took 
home the 2024 National Collegiate Women's Water Polo Championship on 
the 12th of May. UCLA defeated the women's water polo team from the 
University of California, Berkeley at the Spieker Aquatics Complex in 
Berkeley, California.
  The UCLA women's water polo team accomplished their third undefeated 
season in program history, completing a perfect run to their NCAA 
Championship. This year's championship is the program's 12th national 
championship and 123rd overall NCAA championship earned by a UCLA team.
  The team's head coach Adam Wright led the women's water polo team to 
their first championship since 2009. The UCLA women's water polo team 
should be proud of their accomplishments, becoming the fifth team in 
NCAA women's water polo history to complete an undefeated season and 
remain the top-seed. The team's perseverance allowed them to lead the 
game following a tie of four points during halftime. During the third 
quarter, holding an outstanding 8-6 lead, the team secured a 10-6 lead 
following a hat trick by one of their star players.
  I would like to sincerely congratulate the UCLA women's water polo 
team once again on winning the national championship and wish them the 
best of luck next season. Their performance and perseverance was a 
sight to behold and a tribute to the achievements of student athletes 
throughout the Nation. Go Bruins.
