Safety Haley Van Voorhis became the first woman who was not a kicker or punter to appear in a NCAA college football game.
Van Voorhis, a junior at Shenandoah University in Winchester, Va., was tapped to play Saturday against Juniata College during a Division III game at Shenandoah's Shentel Stadium.
Van Voorhis stepped onto the field during the first quarter and registered a quarterback hurry — which led to an incomplete third-down pass by Juniata quarterback Calvin German. Shenandoah went on to win, 48-7, according to NCAA.
