 RECOGNIZING THE UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA WESTERN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM

<bullet> Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing the University of Montana Western women's basketball team 
for their first ever NAIA Division I national championship.
  The University of Montana Western women's basketball team won the 
NAIA Division I national championship game 75-59 over Oklahoma City 
University and finished their season with 30 wins and only 4 losses. 
These ladies have done an incredible job exemplifying the hard work 
that all Montanans are known for.
  The team also received several individual awards for coaches and 
players. Their head coach, Lindsay Woolley, was awarded the NAIA Coach 
of the Year. The Montana Western Bulldogs also had the NAIA Player of 
the Year, Brianna King. Ms. King set a University of Montana Western 
single-season scoring record with 771 points.
  Congratulations to the University of Montana Western women's 
basketball team on an incredible season and a memorable outcome as the 
NAIA Division I National Champions.<bullet>
