Going into last Saturday's game against Linfield University in Oregon, Simon Fraser University football player Kristie Elliott didn't know she would be making history.
Elliott, who's a kicker with the team, became the first Canadian woman to play in, and score in, a college football game.

Way to go Kristie! Inspire other gals to do the same. Look out CFL!
It could be look out NFL seeing as how her league plays American schools and plays by American rules (I never knew that was a thing). Seeing as how the minimum salary for a kicker in the NFL is $660,000 American a year vs. $65,000 Canadian a year in the CFL, why not go for the big money for doing the same job? The NFL is only in its second week of the season, but I have seen more female refs this year than in previous years. The time is right for a female kicker.
Her school actually has a pretty cool tradition of playing the University of British Columbia {and alternating the rules (American/Canadian) as well as the venues } as UBC is the only other university with a football program in B.C.
I wish her luck in the future!
