  CONGRATULATING THE BENET ACADEMY GIRLS VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM

  (Mrs. BIGGERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BIGGERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Benet 
Academy Girls Volleyball Team from Lisle, Illinois, on winning the 
Class 4A State Championship on November 12.
  The terrific team, led by Coach Brad Baker, finished the season with 
a phenomenal record of 39 wins to 3 losses. This accomplishment by the 
Redwings marks the first state championship for an all-girls team at 
Benet Academy.
  Each of these talented students should be commended for her hard work 
and discipline, especially Senior Meghan Haggerty, who led the team 
with 18 kills during the three-game match and 13 straight service 
points in the final game.
  Her sister, Sophomore Maddie Haggerty, followed her lead with 16 
kills. And Senior Jenna Jendryk, who previously was named MVP in the 
Benet Invitational and Wheaton Classic, rounded out the team with 10.
  Mr. Speaker, our community is very proud of these accomplished young 
women, at least seven of whom already have made plans to play 
volleyball at Division I universities.
  Once again, I'd like to congratulate the Benet Academy Redwings on 
their win and wish them continued success in all of their future 
endeavors.
