VANDERBILT’S SARAH FULLER BREAKS ANOTHER BARRIER DURING FOOTBALL GAME AGAINST TENNESSEE

Vanderbilt kicker Sarah Fuller broke through another wall yesterday against Tennessee.

The Commodores goalkeeper-turned-placekicker became the first woman to secure an extra point for a Power 5 Conference school when she nailed the 1-pointer after a Vanderbilt score in the first quarter. She would convert another extra point later in the game

Last month, Fuller became the first female to appear on a football field for an SEC school or any Power 5 conference team. Power 5 schools play in the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, SEC or Pac-12. She kicked off for the Commodores in the second half against Missouri.

She started in nine of Vanderbilt’s 12 games during the women’s season, recording three shutouts and seven wins. She had an 0.97 goals-against average.

April Gross was the last female to play in a college football game. She kicked an extra point for Kent State in September 2015.
