In earlier years, if a woman wanted to participate in sports she was limited to intramural com- petition. In 1987, there were five sports open to women: tennis, basketball, softball, volleyball and cross country. PSU ' s female athletes have re- ceived considerable recognition for their outstanding achieve- ments in sports. Kathy E.

In 1984, they were ranked number one in the NAIA district. The next year the team had a record of 26-5 with a 19 game winning streak. Two former basketball players, Barbara Green and Dee Majors, have had their uniforms retired in recognition of their talent. Women have become increas- ingly active and involved in sports. Now women compete in sports that were once thought to be suitable only for males.
