CONGRATULATING THE FIGHTING IRISH OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME MEN'S 
    LACROSSE TEAM FOR WINNING THE 2024 NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC 
      ASSOCIATION DIVISION I MEN'S LACROSSE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

  Mr. BRAUN. Mr. President, I rise today with great pride to honor the 
Fighting Irish. This May, the University of Notre Dame men's lacrosse 
team won the 2024 NCAA Division I title with a resounding victory over 
the Maryland Terrapins. The final score was 15 to 5.
  This year's victory marked the second national lacrosse title for the 
Fighting Irish. It was also a consecutive national championship--very 
hard to do in this day and age in the competitive arena of college 
sports.
  The Fighting Irish is the first team since 2019 and 2021 to win those 
back-to-back men's lacrosse national championships and only the eighth 
team in division I history to accomplish the feat.
  I would like to personally congratulate Notre Dame men's lacrosse 
team for claiming the 2024 title. It is a university that has 
distinguished itself in so many ways over the years. Blessed to be in 
my home State and I'm very proud of them across the board.
  Mr. President, as in legislative session, I ask unanimous consent 
that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of S. Res. 768, 
which is at the desk.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The clerk will report the resolution by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 768) congratulating the Fighting 
     Irish of the University of Notre Dame men's lacrosse team for 
     winning the 2024 National Collegiate Athletic Association 
     Division I Men's Lacrosse National Championship.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
resolution.
  Mr. BRAUN. I ask unanimous consent the resolution be agreed to, the 
preamble be agreed to, and that the motions to reconsider be considered 
made and laid upon the table, with no intervening action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The resolution (S. Res. 768) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
