             CONGRATULATIONS TO EDEN PRAIRIE GIRLS LACROSSE

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Eden 
Prairie High School Girls Lacrosse Team for clinching the Minnesota 
State Championship. Winning the title was no easy task for the Eagles 
as it took back-to-back overtime wins in both the semifinals and finals 
before they were crowned champions.
  In the finals, it even took a second overtime before junior Kelly 
Wolfe tossed in the winning goal with just over a minute left to 
deliver the title to Eden Prairie.
  Mr. Speaker, in order to compete at a high enough level to win a 
State championship, these student athletes devote countless hours 
honing their athletic skills, while still excelling in the classroom 
and juggling family and social responsibilities. The parents, the 
families, friends, and fans and the entire Eden Prairie community is 
very proud of these high school athletes.
  Once again, congratulations to the Eden Prairie Girls Lacrosse Team 
on a job well done.
