             UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT IRVINE VOLLEYBALL

  (Mr. BERA of California asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BERA of California. Madam Speaker, I'd like to congratulate the 
2013 NCAA men's volleyball championship team from my alma mater, the 
University of California, Irvine. The UC system is one of the best 
public college systems in the world, and UC Irvine, through its 
academics, its research and athletics, continues to make me proud.
  The volleyball team recently won its fourth championship in 7 years. 
It's amazing. Congratulations especially goes to Connor Hughes, the 
tournament's Most Outstanding Player. He joined Chris Austin, Michael 
Brinkley, Collin Mehring, and Kevin Tillie on the all-tournament team. 
Hats off to Coach David Kniffin, who is just the second coach in the 44 
years of men's volleyball history to coach a team to the championship 
in his first season.
  You've made us all proud. Go Anteaters.
