Bill > SRes56

This resolution congratulates the University of Vermont men's soccer team (known as the "Catamounts") on winning the 2024 NCAA Division I men's soccer national championship, highlighting their remarkable achievement as the first NCAA Division I national championship in the school's history. The resolution details the team's dramatic victory over Marshall University with a 2-1 win in overtime, featuring a golden goal with just over 5 minutes remaining, and acknowledges the team's impressive season characterized by late-game heroics (earning them the nickname "Cardiac Cats"). The resolution celebrates the team's unexpected success, including their dramatic tournament run with overtime and penalty kick victories against teams like San Diego University and the University of Denver, and emphasizes how the Catamounts defied expectations as potential "underdogs". The resolution not only congratulates the team but also officially requests that copies of the resolution be sent to the university's interim president, athletic director, and head soccer coach, recognizing the collective effort of players, coaching staff, and support personnel in achieving this historic win that has made the state of Vermont proud.
