  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Clarisa Matias, Britt 
Perry, Krystal Watson, and Jordan Yastremski, graduating seniors on the 
Buffalo State women's basketball team. During their collegiate careers, 
these young women have proven to be talented and dedicated scholars and 
athletes. Their achievements on and off the court are worthy of praise.
  From Buffalo, New York, Clarisa Matias graduated from Holy Angels 
High School and majored in Biology at Buffalo State. Clarisa played the 
position of guard during her years on the basketball team.
  Prior to her time playing guard for the Bengals, Britt Perry earned 
her high school diploma from Hutch Tech High School. She is a Buffalo 
native who chose to enroll at Buffalo State and will earn a degree in 
Health and Wellness.
  Krystal Watson will graduate with a Business degree and played 
forward during her time on the Buffalo State basketball team. Her 
hometown is Buffalo, New York, and she attended Sacred Heart High 
School.
  Hailing from Bath, New York, Jordan Yastremski traveled to Buffalo 
State from Bath-Haverling High School. She studied Criminal Justice and 
played the position of forward for the Bengals.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank you for allowing my colleagues to join me in 
recognizing these extraordinary Buffalo State Bengals and in 
congratulating them as they obtain their undergraduate degrees. As an 
alumnus of Buffalo State, I will be proud to call them fellow alumni. 
Their commitment and ambition will propel them to success, and I wish 
them all the best in their future endeavors.
