Originally Published 2 years ago — by CBS Sports
Leilani Armenta, a kicker for Jackson State, has become the first woman to score in a Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) game. In the Tigers' win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Armenta successfully kicked three extra points, making history once again after becoming the first woman to play in an HBCU game earlier this season. Armenta's opportunity arose due to injuries to the team's regular kickers, and she seized the moment in front of her ecstatic parents.
