From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liz Heaston (born 1977) was the first female to play and score in a men's NAIA college football game. In a game played between Willamette University and Linfield College on October 18, 1997, the 5-foot-5-inch, 120-pound soccer star entered the game as a replacement kicker. Her two extra points helped her team win 27-0. Heaston's football career lasted two games making two of four PAT attempts.^[1][2][3]
