 CONGRATULATING THE ONONDAGA COMMUNITY COLLEGE MEN'S LACROSSE TEAM ON 
           WINNING THEIR FIFTH CONSECUTIVE NJCAA CHAMPIONSHIP

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. DANIEL B. MAFFEI

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 11, 2013

  Mr. MAFFEI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Onondaga 
Community College Men's Lacrosse team on winning the 2013 National 
Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) National Championship.
  On May 12, 2013, the Onondaga Community College Lazers defeated 
Nassau Community College 15-11, capturing their fifth consecutive NJCAA 
Championship. The national offensive player of the year, Onondaga 
attackman Randy Staats, contributed three goals and two assists, while 
the national goalie of the year, Onondaga goalie Warren Hill, had 17 
saves in the national championship game. Warren was named top defensive 
player of the tournament. This was the Lazers' seventh national title 
in the last eight years. The Onondaga Community College Men's Lacrosse 
team made history with its record-setting 70th win in a row, setting a 
new record for consecutive wins at any level in the sport of lacrosse. 
This historic win is a testament to what can be accomplished when hard 
work and sound leadership combine to pursue a specific goal.
  Under the direction of Head Coach Chuck Wilbur, the Lazers have 
exemplified first class sportsmanship in their journey this season. The 
team should be commended for their achievements on the playing field, 
as well as in the classroom.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join me in 
congratulating the Onondaga Community College Men's Lacrosse team on 
their unprecedented achievements this season, and wish them continued 
success for many years to come.
