Sarah Fuller becomes first woman to play in a Power Five college football game

Sarah Fuller made history Saturday becoming the first woman to play in the Power Five.

Sarah Fuller is a senior goalkeeper for Vanderbilt women’s soccer team.

Fuller suited up for the Commodores’ football team Saturday at Missouri. She became the first woman to play in a Power Five college football game.

Fuller entered the contest during the third quarter when Vanderbilt kicked off to Missouri.

She joined the football team this week after COVID-19 contact tracing affected Vanderbilt’s roster.

Last Sunday, Fuller helped lead the Commodores’ soccer team to a Southeastern Conference Tournament championship.

The Commodores were slated to play Tennessee Saturday at Vanderbilt Stadium. Tennessee and Vanderbilt will now play in December after the contest was postponed by the SEC.

The SEC announced that the rescheduling of games allows for a continued opportunity for all 14 teams to play all 10 games in the 2020 season.

UT Director of Athletics Phillip Fulmer discussed Tennessee’s games in December on “Vol Calls” Wednesday.

“We’ve got Florida next week, and then we’ve got Vanderbilt, and then we’ve still got Texas A&M on the 19th,” Fulmer said.
