WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas takes great | ||
pleasure in recognizing the Baylor University Lady Bears | ||
basketball team, which has won the 2019 National Collegiate | ||
Athletic Association championship competition; and | ||
WHEREAS, These skilled athletes earned their place in the | ||
Final Four and ultimately claimed the title over defending | ||
champions, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, by a score of 82-81 in | ||
front of a crowd of 20,000; and | ||
WHEREAS, In their lead-up to the championship, the Lady | ||
Bears were steadfast in maintaining their focus and keeping their | ||
reputation as a dominant force in women's college basketball; and | ||
WHEREAS, The talented players faced a third-quarter blow | ||
in their final game of the tournament when their star forward | ||
sustained a knee injury that pulled her off the court; their | ||
opponents mounted a ferocious comeback to tie the game in the | ||
fourth quarter, and the Lady Bears pushed their trademark defense | ||
to claim their third national championship title with only eight | ||
seconds left in the game; and | ||
WHEREAS, Under the outstanding leadership of renowned | ||
coach Kim Mulkey, the Baylor Lady Bears have maintained their | ||
reputation for excellence on the court and have gained a loyal | ||
following of fans around the state and across the nation; the | ||
Lone Star State is proud of the team for their most recent of many | ||
achievements; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the members of the Baylor University | ||
Lady Bears basketball team for their impressive skills and fine | ||
sportsmanship and congratulate them on earning the 2019 National | ||
Collegiate Athletic Association championship title; and, be | ||
it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
the team as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
