Summary

House Resolution 128 recognizes and commends the Jackson State University Lady Tigers Soccer Team for their victory in the 2022 Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Soccer Championship. The resolution celebrates the team's impressive achievement of defeating Grambling State with a score of 4-2 in overtime, emphasizing the dedication and determination displayed by the players throughout the season.
