She also wore No. 32 for the Vanderbilt women’s soccer team.

She kicked off to start the second half of Vanderbilt’s game against Missouri. Her kick traveled 30 yards. The winless Commodores had yet to give her a chance at a field goal or extra point after being shut out in the first half by mediocre Missouri.
