April Goss

April Goss (born September 2, 1993) is a former American football placekicker for the Kent State Golden Flashes football team. She played for the Golden Flashes from 2012 to 2015 and was redshirted in 2012.[1] She wore uniform number 91.[2] On September 12, 2015, Goss became the second female player to score in an official Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS, formerly Division I-A) game.

With 4:30 left in the second quarter of Kent State's game against the Delaware State Hornets, Goss came on in place of starting placekicker Shane Hynes to attempt the extra point following a 5-yard touchdown run by Kent State quarterback George Bollas. Her kick veered right, but flew inside the right upright and over the crossbar. The only previous woman to score in a FBS football game was New Mexico's Katie Hnida, who recorded two extra points in a 2003 game against Texas State.[3]

Goss was in her fourth year for Kent State's football team, earning the praise of KSU coach Paul Haynes, who insisted she had earned her opportunity: "She works her tail off. She's the first one out there in practice and the last one off the field."[3] Kent State went on to win the game 45–13.
