Our top 20 schools for women who play sports

How did we rank them? Like any admissions committee, we considered the numbers: championships won; varsity, club and intramural opportunities; graduation rates; financial aid; fan support. We also looked at facilities, sports-related curricula, traditions and attitude. And, we didn't forget the fun factor.
