Mizzou Gameday Blog: Vandy female kicker makes Power 5 football history

COLUMBIA, Mo. - Missouri's big lead might become the footnote to Saturday's top story from Faurot Field.

With Mizzou in charge 21-0 to start the third quarter, Sarah Fuller handled the kickoff duties for Vanderbilt, becoming the first woman to appear in a Power Five football game. Fuller, the senior goalkeeper from the Vandy's women's soccer team, joined the football team in recent days because of roster shortages caused by COVID-19. She used a holder for the first kickoff of the second half and pushed a squib kick 30 yards where it was smothered by MU's Mason Pack.
