As a FIFA certified ref, I can tell you that THAT game would have ended with about 3 players remaining after I threw the rest off the field, if I was reffing.

Crazy Mormons.

Or moron.

But to me, that kinda looked like you don't want to mess with the New Mexico team or they'll take as many cheap shots as possible. Wow, I'll bet the school is proud of their national coverage right now.

New Mexico suspends hair-pulling soccer player

(AP) – 1 hour ago

PROVO, Utah — A New Mexico soccer player has become an Internet celebrity for the wrong reasons.

Junior defender Elizabeth Lambert was suspended Friday for her infractions the day before during a 1-0 loss to BYU in a Mountain West Conference semifinal. Lambert is seen in video from the game throwing elbows, colliding with several players and then yanking the ponytail of a BYU player who went crashing to the ground.

"My actions were uncalled for," Lambert said in a statement released by New Mexico. "I let my emotions get the best of me in a heated situation."

Lambert's actions brought unprecedented — and very unwanted — attention to the Mountain West women's soccer tournament.

Video highlights have been airing nationally since Thursday night and not because it was a thrilling game decided on Carlee Payne's header in the 31st minute. The focus of the highlights is more on Lambert's physical play, especially her takedown of BYU's Kassidy Shumway by grabbing her ponytail and pulling her backward.

New Mexico moved quickly to announce Friday that Lambert has been suspended indefinitely. The Mountain West followed with a statement commending the Lobos for acting promptly.

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

Lambert was the only player to be penalized in the game, getting a yellow card in the 77th minute for colliding with a BYU player who was driving toward the Lobos' net. The highlights showed the game was physical in both directions, including an elbow to Lambert's ribs by a BYU player during a dead ball.

Lambert responded with an elbow to the back, one of many regrettable plays she made in the game.

"This is in no way indicative of my character or the soccer player I am," Lambert said in her apology. "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."

That certainly does not sound like the girl in the video. "Oh E36 M3, iI got caught, better kiss butt now!!"

Further proof that women, bless their hearts, got more than just a rib way back in time.

I was going to say something clever about Catholic School Girls once you get their plaid skirts off, but that's just wrong.

That butch and her team should have forfeited the game.

Period.

She's just doing damage control until this all blows over. Everyone will have forgotten about her in a week. Everyone off-campus anyhow.

Although I saw a shot that wasn't an elbow, but a full on punch between the shoulder blades.

Wasn't really a fight. Lopsided at best. But she owned that other player.

This is shaping up to be a fine weekend so far.

She's a very talented athlete. Some of the moves (like the sliding steal @ 34 seconds) are even legal ( it seems, though the camera angle may be deceiving).

Too bad- I would rather lose than have her on my team.

The refs should be fined too. It's pitiful they let it get to that state, and worse that she never got anything worse than a yellow card.

Unsporting behavior, dissent by word or action, and persistently infringing the Laws of the Game and delaying the restart of the game are all yellow card offenses, all of which took place.

2 yellow cards is automatic red card.

Serious foul play and violent conduct are both mandatory red cards. Refs don't have the option of awarding yellow cards for these infractions.

1 red card is mandatory suspension from the game.

Looks to me like she should have been suspended at least 4 times.

Who knew soccer could be entertaining. It just needs co-eds, violence and cut down to under 2 mins of video highlights.
