MINNEAPOLIS — Sarah Fuller should have been allowed to bask in the spotlight. She had been pulled from the women's soccer team at Vanderbilt in November 2020 to kick for the Commodores football team.
That's football, as in the sport with the ball with the pointed ends.
Fuller handled kickoffs and nailed two extra points, becoming the first woman to play in and score in a Power Five football game. Vanderbilt, which has no men's soccer team, turned to her after the Commodores' kicking squad was sidelined by coronavirus matters. The groundbreaking moment wasn't without pressure, because no one would forget if she failed.
