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.

A resolution (S. Res. 768) congratulating the Fighting
Irish of the University of Notre Dame men's lacrosse team for

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.
