        national title;
Whereas, with their victory over the Carson-Newman University Eagles, the Penman 
        capped off a 23-game unbeaten streak as they ended their season with 22 
        wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw, tying the SNHU men's soccer program's record 
        for most wins in a season;
Whereas the State of New Hampshire and the City of Manchester are immensely 
        proud of the SNHU men's soccer team, and recognize the teamwork and 
        dedication required to win a national championship;
Whereas the student-athletes of SNHU demonstrate the same dedication to their 
        studies as they do to athletics, having previously received the USA 
        Today NCAA Foundation Academic Achievement Award in recognition of the 
        high graduation rate of SNHU student-athletes;
Whereas the SNHU men's soccer team was honored in 2013 with the Northeast-10

        sophomore Brad Campion received the Elite 89 award for the highest 
        cumulative grade point average at the 2013 NCAA Division II Men's Soccer 
        Championship;
Whereas SNHU men's soccer head coach Marc Hubbard, a native of Durham, New 
        Hampshire, has led the Penmen to NCAA tournament berths in each of his 6 
        seasons as a coach, in addition to 2 Northeast-10 regular season and 
        tournament titles, and has twice been honored as the Northeast-10 Coach 
        of the Year;
Whereas assistant coaches Josh Taylor, Rich Weinrebe, Dave Williams, and Phil 
        Tuttle leveraged their years of experience playing and coaching the game 
        of soccer to support Coach Hubbard and the team;
Whereas the 2013 Southern New Hampshire University men's soccer team is 
        comprised of--

    (1) 1 graduate student: Callum Williams;

        and scholastic accomplishments: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--

        men's soccer team on winning the National Collegiate Athletic 
        Association Division II Men's Soccer Championship;

                New Hampshire University men's soccer team.
