This is some fairly startling stuff, as this girl should be playing for an NFL team or perhaps MMA. It's too bad that one or more of the girls from BYU didn't kick the shit out of this thuggish asshole. 
New Mexico women's soccer player Elizabeth Lambert suspended for physical play vs. BYU
The heat was on in a Mountain West women's semifinal soccer game yesterday between Brigham Young and New Mexico.
New Mexico defender Elizabeth Lambert's physical play is all over the Internet today -- and rightfully so -- after the 5-8 junior punched, kicked and roughed up just about any BYU player unfortunate enough to cross her path.
The video below tells the full story and shows Lambert shoving one player, kicking another, kicking the ball into another's face (for which Lambert received a yellow card) and finally violently yanking an opponent to the ground by her pony tail.
Amid a hoard of attention from the blogosphere today, New Mexico announced that Lambert has been suspended indefinitely from all team practices, competition and conditioning activities.
"I am deeply and wholeheartedly regretful for my actions," Lambert said in a statement posted on the school's web site. "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. 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."
