    A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION honoring Indiana University's Men's Soccer Team for winning the NCAA National Soccer Championship.


    Whereas, Indiana University Soccer is synonymous with tradition and excellence;

    Whereas, on Sunday, December 14, 1998, the Indiana University Men's Soccer Team defeated Stanford University, 3-1, to win their fourth NCAA Soccer National Championship;

    Whereas, for the past two seasons the Soccer Hoosiers have been virtually unbeatable, amassing an amazing 46-3 record, the most wins for any soccer team in NCAA history;

    Whereas, two outstanding Hoosiers received special honors: Aleksey Korol was named the tournament's most valuable offensive player; and Nick Garcia was named the tournament's most valuable defensive player;

    Whereas, the Hoosier's seven goals scored in the last two rounds of the NCAA tournament were the most scored by any one team in the semifinals and championship since the Hoosier's eight goals in 1980;

    Whereas, three-time National Coach of the Year and United States Soccer Federation Hall of Fame inductee, Jerry Yeagley, has skillfully and carefully guided the team since its beginning as a varsity sport, providing inspiration and encouragement throughout his tenure; and

    Whereas, the soccer team's success is the result of a total team effort, and each member of the team, the managers, Coach Yeagley, and the staff should be praised and honored for superior performance and team spirit.

Be it resolved by the Senate of the General Assembly
