                         Tuesday, April 4, 2017

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the hard work and 
skill of the SUNY Plattsburgh Women's Hockey Team, who just ended their 
already impressive season by winning the NCAA Division III 
championship.
  Led by Coach Kevin Houle, the Cardinals are the first team in 
Division III history to win four consecutive national championships. 
Seniors Jordan Lipson, Katelyn Turk, Julia Duquette, Melissa Ames, Erin 
Brand and Camille Leonard close out their collegiate careers with an 
impressive four year record of 111-5-4.
  Additionally, Erin Brand was honored as the Most Outstanding Player 
at the NCAA Division III Championship with Camille Leonard and Melissa 
Sheeren also earning a spot on the All-Tournament Team. Leonard, the 
team's goaltender, ends her career with the most victories in NCAA 
Division III history, as well as the highest save percentage and the 
second most shutouts.
  In New York's 21st District, we are incredibly proud of these women 
and their incredible achievements. I would like to congratulate the 
SUNY Plattsburgh Cardinals on their victory and hope that their hard 
work and dedication serve as an inspiration for generations to come.
