  HONORING RUTGERS-CAMDEN UNIVERSITY ON THE NCAA DIVISION III WOMEN'S 
                         SOFTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 15, 2006

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Rutgers-Camden 
University Women's Softball Team for winning the NCAA Division III 
Women's Softball Championship in 2006.
  The Scarlet Raptors defeated the defending champion, the University 
of St. Thomas, in a thrilling 3-2 decision during play at Peace College 
in North Carolina last spring in May 2006. This is the first national 
sports title in Rutgers-Camden history, and also the first NCAA title 
for a team sport earned on any Rutgers campus.
  Mr. Speaker, I celebrate the outstanding season of the Rutgers-Camden 
Women's Softball Team. I applaud every member of the Scarlet Raptors 
softball team, as well as Coach Carl Taylor and his staff, for this 
outstanding accomplishment. I am proud of their skill, determination, 
and fierce competitiveness, and thank them for the excitement they 
created for all Rutgers-Camden supporters throughout the season.
