Sarah Fuller made college football history on Saturday for Vanderbilt University, becoming the first woman to play in a Power 5 conference game.

Fuller achieved the feat when she kicked off for Vanderbilt to open the second half of their game against Missouri. She was greeted on the sidelines by high-fives from her teammates after the play.



Fuller is a goalie for Vanderbilt’s women’s soccer team. The six-foot-two senior helped the program capture its first SEC tournament title since 1994 last weekend after upsetting top-ranked Arkansas 3-1.

Fuller got the call to the Commodores football team after several special teams players were placed in quarantine for COVID-19. Head coach Derek Mason reached out to the soccer team at Vanderbilt to look for reinforcements.

1. I saw that! And BTW, there are no Men's Football teams.

There are just NCAA or Power 5 football teams.

The distinction is made for all the incels that think this means men should be able to play on women's basketball teams, etc. Some are complaining it isn't fair, she could get hurt, blah, blah, blah. She's taller and weighs more than any of the other place kickers for the Commodores. She's an athlete who plays without all of the special protective gear when she's on the soccer pitch.

2. Don't forget Katie Hnida.

She suited up for several Colorado games but didn't play. She went to New Mexico then Texas State where she kicked some extra points. Then her story went very bad.

Oh, Sarah wasn't successful and Vandy lost 41 to 0.
