“We’ve made so much progress, and we still have more work to do,” first lady Jill Biden said. “As I watched, I felt the history of that moment of all the women before you who dared to be fast and furious, who ignored the critics and just played. I thought about every little girl who will come after how you show them that they belong on the court.”
The White House visit comes after the LSU Tigers women’s team won its first championship after beating the University of Iowa in April. After the Tigers’ win, Jill Biden said Iowa should also be invited to the White House after praising Iowa’s sportsmanship. In recent decades, the White House has usually hosted only champions.
