                       Tuesday, February 5, 2013

  Mr. YOUNG of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of Indiana 
University's Men's Soccer Team.
  I want to congratulate the team, Indiana University, and the greatest 
college soccer fans in the country--whom we in Indiana affectionately 
call the Hoosier Army--on their 8th NCAA National Championship. As a 
resident of Bloomington, the home of IU, I am particularly proud of IU 
Soccer's achievements this year. They have worked very hard, and merit 
respect and celebration.
  Accomplishments such as this are achieved through diligence and 
commitment. This being their 8th National Championship, IU's Soccer 
Program has proven its commitment to creating a strong and enduring 
tradition of excellence. This win shows that the team benefits now, as 
in past decades, from exemplary leadership both on and off the field. I 
commend Coach Todd Yeagley, and the rest of the coaching staff, for 
instilling confidence in their Hoosier Squad, and for driving them to 
victory this season.
  IU's championship squad also serves as an inspiration to many members 
of the community of Bloomington, and to Hoosiers across Southern 
Indiana. Collectively, the student-athletes have shown us what can be 
achieved through teamwork and perseverance. I commend them on their 
National Championship, and I salute them for their example. Finally, I 
join members of the Hoosier Army, and other rank-and-file Hoosiers, in 
looking forward to many more thrilling seasons in the coming years. Go 
Hoosiers!
