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.

  1. I. Know that aint what sports is about and woodnot be happy if it happen to onevof mine but same time I get tired of seeing the more aggressive girl play dirty whole game just in shady way its refreshing to see somone just hVe had enough of this crop and put hands on some these other bullies straight out not try hiding it from rest word just straight out throw a bow to chick

  2. Yay. Nothin make me feel better than men beating up on woman. Uh, it’s an Old TYT.. I think they’re into pleasuring horses. I remembered these guys during Iraq. Brainwashed and the awake.

  3. Lambert didn't kick the player in the head that was another player, but she was the one who tripped her. She got an elbow in the stomach before she elbowed the other girl in the back. Outside the hair pull this would not have been news.

  4. As long as she’s famous and scoring points, a yellow card is the worst that the soccer officials will allow. A sport is first and foremost, a business, not a charity, and to bench a star attraction is a guaranteed way to a drop in attendance and profits.
