      UNO MAVS WIN NCAA DIVISION II NATIONAL WOMEN'S SOCCER TITLE

 Mr. NELSON of Nebraska. Mr. President, today I want to share 
with my colleagues that after 4 years of earning their way to the Final 
Four and into two national championship matches, the University of 
Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks women's soccer team won their first ever 
national title in Wichita Falls, TX.
  In their season's first overtime match, Brandi Beale scored the game-
winning shot to seal the Mavs' victory. The 2005 UNO women's soccer 
team is the first ever Nebraska soccer team to win a national title. 
Meghan Pile, a senior who has played in all four final fours said it 
best with her statement, ``It's the only way to go out.''
  The team is ecstatic over their victory, and so am I. On behalf of 
all Nebraskans and myself, I want to congratulate these women and the 
coaching staff for their enormous success.
