History was made on Saturday.
Wearing a “Play Like A Girl” sticker on the back of her helmet, Vanderbilt's Sarah Fuller kicked off to Missouri to get things underway in the second half. In doing so, she became the first female to ever appear in a Power 5 football game. With the Commodores trailing by a score of 27-0 on the road, Fuller intentionally squibbed one to the Tigers to get things started in the third quarter.
Sarah Fuller squibbed it exactly where she was supposed to (watch Vanderbilt's coverage guys all funneling short right) and left it un-returnable for Mizzou. Probably one of Vandy's best executed plays of the day in all honestly pic.twitter.com/7cEY8j9rnN

A goalkeeper for the Vanderbilt women's soccer team, Fuller was added to the football roster this week after the team's other kickers were sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols. After helping lead the soccer team to an SEC championship last week, she switched her focus over to the gridiron. Fuller became the third woman to participate in a college football game and the first to see action at the Power 5 level.

Vanderbilt has yet to put up any points as the game heads into the fourth quarter. We'll see if Fuller gets the opportunity to attempt a field goal or extra point.
