American football: Sarah Fuller makes history as first woman in a Power 5 game

Sarah Fuller has become the first woman to play in a Power 5 match - the elite level of collegiate American football.

During Saturday's match, which her team lost 41-0, she wore a helmet with the slogan Play Like A Girl on the back - in support of a non-profit group encouraging girls to play sports.

The Power 5 refers to five conferences, including the SEC, considered the elite of collegiate football.

Several women have appeared at lower levels of collegiate football.

HISTORY MADE 👏@VandyFootball’s Sarah Fuller is the first woman in college football history to play in a Power 5 game.

Good luck to @VanderbiltU’s Sarah Fuller, goalkeeper for the women’s soccer team, who is dressing for their football team as its place-kicker!

If she plays, she will be the 1st woman to do so in Power 5 football.
