The resolution honors the Samford University Women's Basketball Team for their remarkable achievement in winning the Southern Conference Tournament Championship and earning a place in the NCAA Tournament.

Key performances included freshman Kaylee Yarbrough, who scored 25 points, and Francie Morris, who contributed 22 points and was named MVP. The team's strong defensive play and effective free-throw shooting in the final moments were crucial to their success.

Additionally, the resolution recognizes the contributions of the coaching staff, led by Head Coach Matt Wise, in guiding the team to this historic win, marking the first Southern Conference title for Samford under his leadership in his debut season. The resolution celebrates the team's achievement as they become the first No. 6 seed to win the championship since 1999 and only the 12th team in NCAA history to qualify for the tournament with a losing record. The legislature expresses its admiration and best wishes for the team's future success in the NCAA Tournament.
