CONGRATULATING WILMINGTON COLLEGE LADY QUAKERS BASKETBALL TEAM -- (Extensions of Remarks - March 26, 2004)

SPEECH OF HON. MICHAEL R. TURNER OF OHIO IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 2004

Mr. TURNER of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, today congratulations are in order for the Wilmington (OH) College Lady Quakers Basketball team. Last Saturday, March 20, 2004, the Lady Quakers won the NCAA Division III national championship by defeating the previously unbeaten, and top-ranked, Bowdoin College Lady Polar Bears, 59-53.

Special congratulations to the Lady Quakers' Tara Rausch who was selected Final Four MVP as well as first team All-American; Amy Kincer who was named to the all-tournament team; and Wilmington head coach, Jerry Scheve, on the team's 27-6, championship season.

The Wilmington College Lady Quakers' NCAA Division III 2004 national basketball championship is a testament to the team's commitment to excellence, upholding the best traditions of this country's true scholar-athletes.

I ask my colleagues as well as all citizens of the Ohio Valley to join me in congratulating the faculty, staff, parents and friends of Wilmington College on completing an exciting and memorable championship season.
