| H.R. No. 963 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Lubbock Christian University women's basketball | ||
| team once again proved itself the finest NCAA Division II squad in | ||
| the nation by winning the 2021 national championship on March 26; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, Unbeaten during the regular season, the Lady Chaps | ||
| went on to claim the league tournament title and entered the NCAA | ||
| tournament as a top seed; LCU dominated its regional bracket and | ||
| then notched a commanding victory over Daemen College in the Elite | ||
| Eight quarterfinals and a dramatic 63-61 victory over Central | ||
| Missouri to advance to the national championship game; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Top-ranked LCU battled for the crown against No. 2 | ||
| Drury University; the Lady Chaps took an early advantage and | ||
| extended the lead to 21 points before withstanding a furious rally | ||
| by Drury late in the game; clutch free-throw shooting proved | ||
| decisive, however, as LCU triumphed by the final score of 69-59; the | ||
| Lady Chaps celebrated their third title, adding to the trophies | ||
| they collected in 2016 and 2019, and became the first Division II | ||
| team to record two undefeated seasons; and | ||
| WHEREAS, LCU was paced in the championship game by Allie | ||
| Schulte, who racked up a team-high 18 points and was joined in | ||
| double-digit scoring by Madelyn Turner, Emma Middleton, and Ashton | ||
| Duncan; the Lady Chaps also received valuable contributions | ||
| throughout the year from the other members of the roster, and the | ||
| players were ably guided by head coach Steve Gomez and his | ||
| assistants; and | ||
| WHEREAS, By accomplishing the rare feat of winning a third | ||
| national championship, the Lubbock Christian Lady Chaps have | ||
| burnished their reputation as a basketball powerhouse, and they may | ||
| reflect with pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Lubbock Christian University | ||
| women's basketball team on winning the 2021 NCAA Division II | ||
| national championship and extend to the players, coaches, and staff | ||
| sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the team as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
| Frullo | ||
