	University of Pittsburgh - The History of Women at Pitt - Women in Sports

		Pitt offered few team sports for women until federal legislation required schools and colleges to provide equal athletic opportunities for women and men.
		Their ambitious sports program included events in basketball, hockey, volleyball, archery, swimming, baseball, golf, hiking, tennis, dancing, and some social events.

		Three factors were believed to be behind this: the IOC wanted more emphasis on individual sports; women's athletics had swollen the number of competitors; and the sport did not receive the backing that it should have from the British entries.
