Breaking barriers: Vandy K Sarah Fuller knocks down very first extra point attempt
Published:
Two weeks after making history the first time, Sarah Fuller has done it again.
The Vanderbilt kicker is now the first woman in history to score a point in a Power 5 college football game.
She hit an extra point to tie the game late in the first quarter against Tennessee. Here’s the kick:

Two weeks ago against Missouri, Fuller became the first woman to ever appear in a Power 5 football game. She executed a mortar kick to open the second half of that game.
Unfortunately for her, the Commodores lost 41-0 in that game so she wasn’t able to attempt a field goal or an extra point.
Vanderbilt is 0-8 this season and is playing its first game since firing coach Derek Mason. The Commodores are scheduled to play Georgia next week at 12 p.m. ET, so Fuller’s season likely won’t be over even after Saturday.
Vanderbilt has won three of the last four meetings against Tennessee.
