A previous version stated that Haley Van Voorhis was the first female non-kicker or punter to play in an NCAA game. In fact, cornerback Taylor Crout entered a game for Fitchburg State earlier this season, and it is uncertain whether there have been others.
WINCHESTER, Va. — With less than a minute left in the first quarter and Shenandoah University already leading by 26 points, safety Haley Van Voorhis made considerable college football history on a wet and windy Saturday afternoon about 30 miles from her hometown.
When the 5-foot-6, 145-pound junior from The Plains, Va., stepped onto the field on third and long to rush the Juniata quarterback, she became one of the first women who was not a kicker or a punter to play in an NCAA football game.
