Sarah Fuller addresses women earning a football scholarship, notes surprising field goal range
One of the most talked about stories of the college football weekend was Vanderbilt women’s soccer goalkeeper handling kickoff duties for the football team in the Commodores’ game at Missouri.
Sarah Fuller had a wide-ranging press conference to review the events of Saturday, and her perspective on topics like her development, role models and women earning a football scholarship.
Fuller said she’ll stick around as long as football team will have her. She’s going to meetings today and has asked for film of NFL kickers similar to her to refine her technique, kicking.
Her role models were members of the U.S. Women’s National Team in soccer, especially Megan Rapinoe, who she noted was her biggest influence. The Vanderbilt kicker again echoed her sentiment from Saturday, that it’s amazing she’s getting a chance to do something similar for other girls.
Perhaps most eyebrow-raising is Fuller said she and teammate Sophie Guilmette used to practice field goals with soccer balls in the indoor facility. She’d move back after every make. She recalls getting to the 50-yard line, a 67-yard field goal.
Vanderbilt is set to play at Georgia this week.
In today’s press conference, Sarah Fuller said she and fellow @VandySoccer keeper Sophie Guilmette used to practice field goals with soccer balls in the indoor facility.
She’d move back after every make. She recalls getting to the 50—a 67-yard field goal.
NFL record: 64 yards.

H/T Teresa Walker.
Id like to see a video of her kicking one from at least 30. Theyve got to have proof of some of this somewhere. This definitely reminds me of when carli lloyd talked all that smack of how shed be the best kicker in the nfl then when pro kickers and punters came to back her up she vanished…..poof. If shes so good clearly there are many people willing to help her
If they did this at 67 yards you be darned straight they would record it. These tail end millenials and older zoomers record every banal detail of their banal meaningless lives.
Of course Rapinoe is her role model, bunch of woketard attention seekers. It’s time to boot Vandy from the SEc.
You’re not the smartest peanut in the turd, huh?
Maybe she can hit Rapinoe up for dating tips, since she’s such a fan.
1. The physics of kicking a football vs a soccer ball are completely different.
2. In HS, I could kick a 45 yard field goal from the tee with no one rushing me. With a team in front of me, it got blocked 3 out of 4 times by a HS team. It’s all about getting the ball vertical – and quickly.
3. Mason said she had a 25 yard range.
Yep, it’s all about the take-off angle.
Well then just try out for the team next year and EARN that scholarship! Some role models – a bunch of ingrate, anti-America women playing UNDER the banner of The United States Women’s Team! How many PATRIOTS wear their shirts with the AMERICAN FLAG inside out so the FLAG cannot be seen? I wish they would show that game where the bunch of 15 yr old BOYS beat the crap out of them!
Lol please……
She can kick a 67 yard fg (with a soccer ball, cause they’re not at all different right!?) but on KO she only kicks 30yd including a 10yd roll……
Sure lady.
Oh and LOVE how the reporter has a face mask on in his profile picture! Who does that!?
That reminds me! Know who else could kick 67 yard FG’s!? Adam Griffith!!! That went well!!!
Last thing… I’m excited for when males are allowed to play on US women’s team so that the super woke rapinoe losses her job….
– rapinoe: “oooooops, never thought it would affect me!”
She kicked it 30 yards on a ~line drive. But she can kick 67 yard field goals. Everybody believes that, I’m almost nearly certain.
Texas A&M is The Home of The 12th Man.
In 1922 our coach had to go to the student body and ask a student to suit up for a game because his players were depleted.
In 2020 Derek Mason had to go to the student body and ask a student to suit up for a game because his players were depleted.
From this point forward Vanderbilt University should forever be known as The Home of The 12th Woman.
OK. OK. We all know testosterone matters.
Do you support us all wearing t-shirts proclaiming, “Testosterone Matters!”
Jesus.
Yes, testosterone matters. It also contributes immeasurably to murder, rape, and war mongering.
It makes highly intelligent people geniuses. There are no female equivalents to Mozart, Descartes, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Einstein, Edison, Tesla, Hemingway, Van Gogh, or Bono…
but geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez…
But Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez…
Truth is truth. Everything else is how i feel right now.
OK.
Kicking from the 50 is a 60 yard field goal, Simon. Not a 67.
