                         Monday, June 14, 2010

  Mr. HARE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to proudly recognize the Quincy 
Notre Dame High School girls' soccer team, the Lady Raiders, for 
winning the Class 1A state championship. On May 29, 2010, the Lady 
Raiders soundly defeated the Manteno High School Panthers 2-0 at North 
Central College's Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium in Naperville to win the 
state championship, capping their record at an impressive 24 wins and 
only 2 losses.
  I extend my congratulations to all of these amazing athletes: 
goalkeepers Quentessa Keating, Mackenzie Little, and Megan Rabe; 
defenders Alex Reis, Jamie Pyatt, Alyssa Klene, Leah Waterkotte, Hannah 
Witte, Kayla Struck, Claire Obert, and Paula Holm; midfielders McKenna 
Murphy, Lexi Dreyer, Kate Genenbacher, Katie Hancox, Brooke Dreyer, 
Brooke Burgess, Hilary Hoffman, and Lexi Niemann; and forwards Abby 
Grawe, Shannon Foley, Jordan Frericks, Samantha Hall, and Leigh 
McLaughlin. I would also like to commend their coaching team led by 
Mark Longo and assistant coaches Randy Struck, George McDonnell, Jason 
Keller, Anthony Longo, and Jay Zanger, and the rest of the Quincy 
community who provided tremendous support in their historic victory. I 
am honored to represent Quincy Notre Dame High School and pleased to be 
able to share their victory with my colleagues in the U.S. House of 
Representatives, and I wish the Lady Raiders the best of luck in their 
future academic careers and athletic ambitions.
