From the article:

Women playing college soccer are 46 percent more likely to have reported concussions than male players, according to a 16-year NCAA study published in 2007. In basketball, women were 38 percent more like likely to have reported concussions than men.

I suspect that differences in reporting account for a significant part of this.  I'd bet that female athletes are more likely to be honest with coaches and training staff, whereas male athletes are more likely to pretend they're OK even when they're not.
