CONGRATULATING THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-GREEN BAY WOMEN'S BASKETBALL 
                                  TEAM

  (Mr. KAGEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KAGEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment here to honor 
the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay women's basketball team for their 
historic at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.
  Now, this may not seem like a big deal to folks from the big cities 
or from the east or west coast, but in northeast Wisconsin, we could 
not be prouder of our Phoenix being the first team from the Horizon 
League to earn an NCAA at-large bid.
  I want to commend Head Coach Matt Boland and his team for their 
remarkable achievement this year. They entered the tournament with 27 
wins and launch into the second round today after upsetting the 
Virginia Cavaliers over the weekend. I also want to point out most of 
Coach Boland's team is homegrown in Wisconsin. For the lady Phoenix 
players, most of them spent their lifetime growing up in northeast 
Wisconsin.
  I want to thank the entire UWGB team for making Wisconsin proud, and 
I wish them good luck tonight in their road to the Final Four.
