        fought victory over the Quinnipiac University Bobcats of Connecticut by 
        a score of 5 to 1;
Whereas the UND men's hockey team had an incredible 2015-16 season, during which 
        Coach Brad Berry became the first head coach to win an NCAA division I 
        men's hockey national championship in an individual's first season as 
        head coach;
Whereas the UND men's hockey team won its eighth NCAA division I men's hockey 
        championship and ended the 2015-16 season with a 34-6-4 record;

        Director Brian Faison, academic and athletic excellence has been 
        promoted at UND;
Whereas thousands of UND fans attended the NCAA division I men's hockey

        propel the success of the UND men's hockey team; and
Whereas the UND men's hockey team's victory in the 2016 NCAA division I men's
