Sofia LaSpina stood just outside a corner tunnel behind one of the end zones as the Jets and Titans clashed in the first quarter Sunday at MetLife Stadium. She had handled the glare of the spotlight since "Lasso Out" — the call that resulted in her becoming the first female high school player to score a touchdown in Long Island history, drawing local and national attention.
But now the Mepham High junior wide receiver from Bellmore was waiting to be called out into the end zone and be honored by her favorite team since she was little Sofia.
