Christian Liew and Ajer Sher gave UChicago early momentum. Michael Choi rallied from a 5-2 deficit to win. Senior Emil Grantcharov helped clinch the national title for the University of Chicago Maroons. Even more amazing, this is UChicago's third championship title in 5 years. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate these student-athletes and coaching staff for this exceptional accomplishment and historic achievement. ____________________
