  Mr. HARE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to proudly recognize the Quincy 
Notre Dame High School girls' soccer team, the Lady Raiders, for 
winning the Class 1A state championship. On May 29, 2010, the Lady 
Raiders soundly defeated the Manteno High School Panthers 2-0 at North 
Central College's Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium in Naperville to win the 
state championship, capping their record at an impressive 24 wins and 
only 2 losses.
  I extend my congratulations to all of these amazing athletes: 
goalkeepers Quentessa
