WASHINGTON – Louisiana’s two U.S. Senators, Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, and John N. Kennedy, R-Madisonsville, introduced Tuesday a resolution congratulating the LSU women’s basketball team for winning their first national title.
The resolution also congratulates Head Coach Kim Mulkey on becoming the third coach to win four national championships in NCAA Division I women’s college basketball history and the first to win championships with multiple programs.

“Kim Mulkey and the Tigers have left their mark on college sports history,” Cassidy said in a press release. “They went from a losing season two years ago to winning a national championship and packing stadiums in record numbers.”
Kennedy added: “Louisiana could not be prouder of LSU’s Lady Tigers and Coach Kim Mulkey for making history. LSU scored the most points ever in a NCAA women’s championship game, and it’s an honor to recognize how much their hard work and fighting spirit paid off.”
The Tiger team, who beat Iowa in the championship game, is expected to also be invited to the White House sometime soon.
