welcome back to the washington area nissan dealers sports xtra. >> 40 years ago this weekend title 9 became law. the landmark legislation prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in all education

programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. it has resulted in millions of women competing in intercollegiate sports like never before. billy jean king was in town to mingle can castle -- with kastle sponsors. she founded the women's tennis association and women's sports foundation. she told us title 9 is more than just about women in sports. >> i think a lot of people think it was just about sports and really it was an educational piece of legislation. the reason we have 54% of women enrolled in universities and colleges today is because of title 9 which was june 23rd, 1972. so the floodgates were opened in 1972. it's taken time to get momentum. now it's 54% women and that's good to a point, but now i'm starting to worry about the guys because i'd like to to reflect the population.

i think it should be 51/49 and so it's equal. finally the seattle storm beat the mystics 72-55. crystal langhorne led washington with 29 points. the mystics are now 2-8 this season. that's all the time we have for tonight's show. thanks for letting us be part of your weekend. have a great night. we'll see you back tomorrow starting at 5:00 and 6:00. bye bye. >> thank you for watching sport extra brought to you by your washington area nissan dealer.
