Girls soccer wasn't a thing yet in her small town of Dayton, Minnesota but that didn't stop the determined athlete from giving the sport a shot. We all know how that turned out for her. #olympian #worldcupchampion Sarah Fuller's decision to suit up with the boys, kicking for the Vanderbilt football team, came after the COVID-19 pandemic left some holes on the Commodores' roster -- and just weeks after the college goalkeeper helped her team win their first SEC championship since 1994. The morning of July 8th, the two trailblazers met for the first time: Sarah logging on from a hotel room in Green Bay, Wisconsin where her team -- Minnesota Aurora FC -- was preparing for their last match of the USL-W regular season. Across the country in southern California, Bri was in her hotel room preparing for her role as analyst for CBS Sports coverage of the CONCACAF W tournament.
