Following on from our news that the New Mexico soccer player had been suspended, examiner.com reports that Elizabeth Lambert has been suspended indefinitely.”
The University of New Mexico respectfully banned Elizabeth Lambert the 20-year-ol, from her team, after she engaged in conduct that could be considered criminal or civil assault and battery in a court of law. The University has suspended Lambert indefinitely from all athletic facilities and programs.
The incidents happened during a soccer match against rival Brigham Young University Lambert can be seen kicking, punching and even yanking an opponent to the ground by her ponytail. That does not even mention the late and high tackles that she done.
Lambert released the following apology: “I am deeply and wholeheartedly regretful for my actions. My actions were uncalled for. 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 from the coaching staff and UNM administration.”

In a soccer game, there’s the referee and the two assistant referees along the sidelines. Nobody of them has seen the hooliganism Lambert blatantly showed? And she has the audacity to apologize for the actions that she clearly consciously decided to carry out? She doesn’t deserve to be suspended indefinitely, she needs to be BANNED from soccer for the rest of her natural life. You don’t expect to see this behavior in NCAA soccer nor in any sanctioned matches. University of New Mexico, regardles if she plays well, REMOVE her from the team, STRIP her scholarship. If I had my way, I’d expel from the school. Piece of **** like her brings bad name to you University.
Animal. She should be banned from ANY sport forever as this is the type of person she is and will never change….
I believe 50% of the fault is that of the referee and his assistants. Look at how many times she acted in that manner and no one did anything about it until the end. VERY SICK!
