Sarah Fuller made history as the first woman to participate in a major Division Icollege football game when she kicked for the short-staffedVanderbilt Commodores .- The starting goalkeeper for the school's women's soccer team did not showcase her full leg strength during the game, as she only delivered a squib kick.

And though her perfectly-executed squib kick was powerful enough to break through the glass ceiling, it didn't have the "oomph" necessary to impress skeptics. But that doesn't mean Fuller isn't capable of delivering massive boots; quite the contrary.

Fuller shared a clip of the impressive play on Twitter Monday as a reminder of her impressive kicking abilities. And, as if to silence critics of her participation with the football team, she paired the video with the caption "I'm just going to leave this here..."

Fuller may have a chance to put that strong leg to good use on Saturday. Commodores interim head coach Todd Fitch confirmed that she is continuing to practice with his team. And Fitch — who took over the program after former head coach Derek Mason's dismissal last week — added that Fuller would travel to Athens, Georgia, this weekend ahead of Vanderbilt's game against the No. 11 Georgia Bulldogs.
"She'll be with us on the trip to Georgia, and we're going to put the best people out there," Fitch said, per ESPN. "If she's our best option, we'll continue with her, and we'll do the best we can for the team."
