            TRINE UNIVERSITY 2025 WOMEN'S SOFTBALL CHAMPIONS

  (Mr. STUTZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STUTZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Angola, 
Indiana's, Trine University women's softball team on winning the 2025 
NCAA Division III softball championship. Under the leadership of head 
coach Donnie Danklefsen, the Thunder gave the championship game their 
all.
  This game was a nail-biter, as the team was down by one run 
throughout most of the game. On top of that, the team's star pitcher, 
Alexis Michon, pitched the entire game despite an injury early on.
  Even with this adversity, the team rallied together and kept their 
determination to win. Everything turned around for the Thunder in the 
sixth inning when Emma Lee crushed a three-

run homer and this team sailed to a 3-1 victory.
  Trine University women's softball has continued to make Indiana's 
Third District proud, as this is their second national title in 3 
years. Their perfect post-season is a testament to the hard work and 
talent of this team.
  These women have set an example for all of us as to the achievements 
that are possible with unwavering dedication and strong leadership.
  To the 2025 Trine University softball team, congratulations on this 
monumental accomplishment. I know each of you will continue to pursue 
excellence and set an example for others.
