April Goss becomes second female to score in major college game

September might now be the favorite month for April Goss, who kicked an extra point for Kent State to become the second woman to score in a major college football game.

Goss, who has been on the roster for four seasons, made her kick with 4:30 left in the first half to give Kent State a 29-6 lead over Delaware State.

The kick was perfect, as it veered toward the right upright, but it was still good.

“I was a little disappointed I didn’t make a better kick,” said Goss, who played soccer before deciding to try football, during a phone interview with the Associated Press.

“I was sure it was going right, but it did go through. I’ll probably beat myself up for that for a little while, but it was awesome.”

Goss is the only female on a major college team, according to STATS LLC.

Katie Hnida kicked two extra points for New Mexico in 2003.
