Sorry for the confusion on my part. I work in the recreational sports field (specifically, university campus recreation), and in my profession (and according to the ASA) "coed" refers to teams composed of both males and females, and/or simply a female participant. The term actually originated from when women were admitted into previously all-male institutions of higher-learning in the 19th century, hence, a "co-educational" experience was being offered to both men and women. The term, "coed," then, basically stuck with any woman who was enrolled at a college or university with both sexes. (I remember about 10 things from my college educaiton - this is one of them. )
