The last points of the 2023 Kalamazoo College football season might be among the most significant in team history even if they didn’t get tallied as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madison Barch \u201924, No. 48 in orange and black, thought she was about to attempt her last kick in college on November 11 at Trine, when\u2014in the final minute\u2014the snap on an extra point was bobbled, forcing her to improvise. She scrambled and unexpectedly ran wide open at the left side of the end zone with a pass from holder Josh Nichols \u201924 on its way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI could just see the ball coming in, and I remember thinking to myself, \u2018Madison, of all the times to catch a ball, you have to catch this ball right now,\u2019\u201d Barch said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She had already been the first woman to score for the K football team two years prior by booting an extra point on September 4, 2021, in a game at Oberlin. But now, as Barch wrapped her fingers around the ball, she tallied a two-point conversion, recording what are believed to be the first non-kicking points by a woman at any level in the history of NCAA football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was completely unplanned,\u201d Barch said. \u201cCoach joked around afterward asking me how much I had to pay Josh to get him to do that. I said, \u2018Nothing, I swear!\u2019 We always practiced it as a team just in case of emergencies, but it felt like an out-of-body experience. I don’t remember feeling anything when it happened. I just remember catching the ball. I then was so excited. There were so many emotions. It took all the self-control I had in me not to spike the ball like Rob Gronkowski. I didn\u2019t think coach would be happy if we got a penalty from that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hornets lost 42-29 that day, but the team celebrated as though it had won a conference championship. Barch finished the game 3-for-3 on extra point attempts. Plus, all the young girls who showed up at K football games year after year to see Barch play had another reason to look up to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI remember some of the guys running on the field and hitting my helmet, yelling, \u2018Oh, my gosh!\u2019\u201d Barch said. \u201cI was so excited that I almost forgot to give the ball back to the referee. I ran back, gave the ball to the referee and there was just a huddle of teammates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barch\u2019s football pursuits began in seventh grade while growing up in Utica, Michigan. Her sisters always had tried a variety of sports, and her male peers, after seeing her play soccer, encouraged her to try kicking for the football team. Her dad, Peter, was excited to let her try it, but Barch\u2019s mom, Michele, needed to be convinced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don’t know how I convinced her, but I did somehow,\u201d Barch said. \u201cI’m sure she was frightened, but now, she\u2019s my number one fan by far.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In being that top fan, Mom convinced Barch to pursue football through high school\u2014where ESPN once showed her<\/a> practicing field goals of more than 50 yards\u2014and even into college. That led Barch to attend a prestigious prospect camp in Tennessee where she was its first-ever female invitee, and make spreadsheets that listed prospective schools along with the names and email addresses of their head coaches and special teams coaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m so glad she pushed me through that,\u201d Barch said. \u201cShe knows me better than I know myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After hearing from a few Division II and III schools, Barch visited K and fell in love. A subsequent visit to another school didn\u2019t go well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI remember sitting in the car with my dad on the way home from that visit, and I told him that I wanted to go to Kalamazoo,\u201d Barch said. \u201cI didn’t see myself going anywhere else. I\u2019ve had so many good experiences over the past few years at K and it\u2019s been life changing. I made so many good friends, so many good connections and I just don’t know where I would be if I never went to K.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barch still had some challenges on the road to her biggest accomplishments. Her K experience began with distance learning as a result of COVID-19 in fall 2020. The football team then attempted to move its fall 2020 season to spring 2021, but injuries forced them to cancel after two games. Barch also had a hip injury and a couple of personal illnesses along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, Barch went on to elect a biochemistry major<\/a> and stuck with football. She\u2019s been on the MIAA Academic Honor Roll the past three years. She also became a President\u2019s Student Ambassador\u2014representing the College at formal events for community leaders, alumni and donors as an extension of the president\u2019s office\u2014and an Admission<\/a> employee who leads prospective students on campus tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While she may have just wrapped up her collegiate football career, she\u2019s looking forward to starting the next phase of her life. After graduating next spring, she would like to follow her dad\u2019s lead into law enforcement and work in forensics, possibly starting with an internship with the Michigan State Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was in a 400-level chemistry class with Dr. Jennifer Furchak this fall called instrumental analysis, and we got to meet with an alumna from K who works in forensics in Tennessee,\u201d Barch said. \u201cHearing from her and having that class was interesting. I think I would like working in ballistics and firearms analysis. Thinking about how I can trace one little shell casing back to wherever it came from seems cool to me. And yet I\u2019m not too stressed about what I\u2019m going to do. Whatever God has planned for me is going to work itself out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
