Brigham Young University (white) vs Nem Mexico (red)
 
If you pay close attention, you'll see that it's the BYU player provoking her the first two times. That doesn't excuse her actions at all, but just saying, they messed with the wrong girl on the team.

When I played soccer in HS, sometimes the opposing team would do little dirty tricks like pulling on my jersey when I was trying to run after ball, or rib me when the ref wasn't looking. It's very easy to "snap" when all you're doing it just trying to compete and someone pulls a dirty move on you. Still not saying this girl was justified in her actions though. She should have been ejected from game for 1st offense.
 
Ouch! They really beat on each other but Lambert(girl in red) really went overboard. I's just glad I am not playing in that game! lol
 
goddamn........
 
Intense competition can lead to crazy behavior!

In ESPN website: New Mexico player banned, apologizes

New Mexico women's soccer defender Elizabeth Lambert has been suspended indefinitely after engaging in rough play -- including hauling an opposing player to the ground by her pony tail -- in the Lobos' 1-0 loss to BYU in the Mountain West Conference semifinals.

Lambert is prohibited from taking part in practices, games and conditioning, coach Kit Vela announced Friday.

"Liz is a quality student-athlete, but in this instance her actions clearly crossed the line of fair play and good sportsmanship," Vela said.

Video footage of the game shows Lambert, a junior, committing a series of excessively rough plays, including kicking, tackles, a forearm shiver to the back -- in response to an elbow to the ribs -- and yanking BYU forward Kassidy Shumway to the ground by her hair.

Lambert was assessed a yellow card during the 76th minute, apparently for tripping.

On Friday, Lambert apologized for her actions, saying she was "deeply and wholeheartedly regretful."

"I let my emotions get the best of me in a heated situation. I take full responsibility for my actions and accept any punishment felt necessary," Lambert said. "This is in no way indicative of my character or the soccer player that I am. I am sorry to my coaches and teammates for any and all damages I have brought upon them.

"I am especially sorry to BYU and the BYU women's soccer players that were personally affected by my actions. I have the utmost respect for the BYU women's soccer program and its players."

The Mountain West said it endorsed New Mexico's discipline of Lambert, saying her actions violated the conference's sportsmanship policy. The conference said it would continue an internal review of "the overall dynamic involved in the match" and said it would not comment further.

"Liz's conduct on the field against BYU was completely inappropriate," said Paul Krebs, New Mexico's vice president for athletics. "There is no way to defend her actions."

BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe, in a news release, said Krebs had contacted him after the incident.

"It's an unfortunate incident that occurred in the game Thursday afternoon," Holmoe said. "The University of New Mexico and the Mountain West Conference have reviewed the situation and have acted appropriately ... I am pleased with his immediate response to the matter."

New Mexico (13-5-3) was the No. 4 seed in the tournament. Top-seeded BYU (17-2-2), ranked No. 17 in the NCSAA/adidas College Soccer Women's Top 25, advanced to the tournament final against San Diego State with the win.

The Cougars scored the game's lone goal on a Carlee Payne header off a direct kick in the 31st minute.

Elizabeth Lambert of New Mexico Lobos women's soccer suspended for rough play

Good thing she is suspended indefinitely for her inexcusable behavior.
 
ah. she admitted and she apologized it. thats good. let's hope she will return to games soon anyway.
 
Glad she took responsibility for her actions and hopefully, it wont happen again.
 
my husband was showing me this earlier. Crazy.

I guess people take sports way to seriously
 
It's a wonder it didn't cause an all-out brawl!. I've never played soccer, but have basketball, and I received some really hard jabs and kicks. Even punches to my head.

There are dirty players in every sport.
