Former division one athlete Adriana McLamb discusses the fight for fairness in women's sports.
The argument that men belong in women's sports took another shocking blow last week when the University of Washington's women's soccer team had a match against a men's team.
Well, not a men's team, per se. It was an under-14 boys soccer team.
Surely, the Division I power-conference team full of grown college women was able to easily dispatch a team filled with barely pubescent boys who don't even have their learners' permits, right?
WOMEN ARE LOSING THE SPORTS GENDER BATTLE. LET’S HELP THEM WIN THE WAR
Washington finished as the sixth-ranked team in women’s college soccer last season after an impressive run to the Elite Eight. The Huskies lost to a group of 14-year-old boys in their most recent scrimmage.
This is not the first time we have seen this kind of lopsided age gap victory in women’s soccer, nor will it be the last. That doesn’t make the result any less eye-opening.
The University of Washington announced the addition of women’s soccer in December, 1990. It played its first full season that next fall in 1991. Since then, the Huskies have made the NCAA Tournament 18 times. They made six Round of 16 appearances over the last 34 years with three runs to quarterfinals. They also won one regular season conference championship and one conference tournament title.

The University of Washington women’s soccer team recently dropped a preseason scrimmage to a group of 14-year-old boys, a result that stands out given the program just completed the best season in its history. The Huskies reached the Elite Eight last year after upsetting the No. 1 seed Virginia in the Sweet 16.
