A concurrent RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE 
THE MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA AIKEN WOMEN'S POLO TEAM ON A 
STELLAR SEASON AND TO CELEBRATE THEIR WIN OF THE 2026 USPA DIVISION I NATIONAL 
INTERCOLLEGIATE CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT.

Whereas, on March 22, 
2026, the University of South Carolina Aiken (USCA) women's polo team was 
crowned national champion at the 2026 USPA Division I National Intercollegiate 
Championship Tournament. It was an exhilarating finish to the team's first 
undefeated season in history; and

Whereas, currently 
ranked No. 1 in the nation out of thirty-five universities, the USCA Pacers 
defeated Texas A&M University 15-6 in the course of earning the crown; and

Whereas, since 2022, 
USCA polo has been playing in the top DI level of all collegiate teams. While a 
polo club can have any number of members, the actual team is composed of three 
players. For USCA, the players are Brianna Jordan, club president; Madison Jordan, 
Brianna's twin sister and team captain; and Winnie Branscum, vice president. 
All three have played in the U.S. Polo Association's National Youth Tournament 
Series; and

Whereas, USCA players 
Branscum and M. Jordan were noted as tournament All-Stars, and Branscum also 
was awarded Best Playing Pony. In addition, Branscum's horses were among those 
elected as Best Playing String; and

Whereas, Coach Parker 
Scott, drawing on his own talents and expertise, forged a championship polo 
team that refused to settle for second best. Through rigorous practices and 
demanding drills, Coach Scott set a standard of excellence and instilled a 
depth of character that will remain invaluable in the lives of these athletes; 
and

Whereas, grateful for 
the pride and recognition the members of the USCA women's polo team have 
brought to their school and the Palmetto State, the General Assembly looks 
forward to hearing of the team's continued accomplishments in the years to 
come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the 
South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, congratulate the members 
of the University of South Carolina Aiken women's polo team on a stellar season 
and celebrate their win of the 2026 USPA Division I National Intercollegiate 
Championship Tournament.

Be it further resolved that 
a copy of this resolution be presented to President Michael Amiridis of the 
University of South Carolina, Chancellor Daniel J. Heimmermann of USC Aiken, 
and Coach Parker Scott of USC Aiken.
