Vanderbilt's Sarah Fuller continued to make FBS history on Saturday.

Fuller became the first woman to score a point in an FBS Power 5 college football game during the Commodores' game against in-state rival Tennessee in Nashville.

Fuller successfully made a PAT after Vanderbilt scored a touchdown in the final 1:50 of the first quarter in Saturday's game.

Fuller, the starting goalkeeper on the Vanderbilt women's soccer team, was the Commodores' primary kicker in Saturday's 41-0 loss at Missouri. The senior kicked off the second half of the Commodores' game against the Missouri with a squib kick to the Missouri 35-yard-line.

Fuller began practicing with the football team last week, several weeks after the women's soccer team was eliminated in the final of the SEC Tournament, but there was no confirmation on her involvement prior to last Friday's announcement that she would dress for the Vanderbilt-Missouri game.

Fuller was named as a nominee for the Capital One Orange Bowl Courage Award by the Football Writers Association of America this week after becoming the first woman to appear in a Power 5 conference college football game, FOX 17 News reports.

Fuller was also named as the Southeastern Conference's co-special teams player of the week on Monday (November 30,) Sports Illustrated reports.
