As a CU placekicker in 1999, Katie Hnida says she endured a kind of sexual hell you can't imagine. After being verbally abused and molested by teammates, Hnida says, she was raped by one of them.

Katie's player bio, Number 2, New Mexico Lobos Football

she made history once again by becoming the first woman to score in a D-I game against Texas State on Aug. 30, 2003…entered the game with 5:05 left in the fourth quarter following a Tali Ena to Hank Baskett TD pass and split the uprights with room to spare to give UNM a 65-8 advantage…connected on another extra point after a Daniel Ramirez TD run with 1:21 to cap the Lobo scoring…
