It’s been an eventful few weeks for Sarah Fuller.
The Vanderbilt soccer goalie made history when she became the first woman to appear in a Power 5 football game, then made history again when she became the first woman to score points in a Power 5 football game when she kicked an extra point.
Now her athletic career will take her to a new school.
Fuller, who will graduate in May from Vanderbilt, will enroll next year at the University of North Texas, where she will retain eligibility as a graduate transfer and work toward her Master’s.
“A big part of our championship success at UNT has always been having a great keeper in goal for us throughout my time here,” said head coach John Hedlund who is entering his 26th season and is the only head coach the Mean Green have ever had. “Sarah brings that presence with her experience as the starter for Vanderbilt this season and playing in the SEC. At 6-foot-1 she has the size, athletic ability and obviously the experience to dominate in goal and add to our eight championships in C-USA. We’re excited to have Sarah for the next two years working on her master’s degree here at UNT. Welcome home!”
Hedlund has built North Texas into a powerhouse, winning 16 conference championships in his time running the program.
