Women’s soccer bores me to tears. Throw in some punching and hair-pulling and it’s suddenly worth watching. That’s exactly what happened during a recent match between the BYU Cougars and New Mexico Lobos. New Mexico’s Elizabeth Lambert takes cheap shots at different BYU players throughout the game. At one point she vicioulsly yanks BYU’s Kassidy Shumway by her ponytail. Shumway dives to the grass. No call. Was the referee asleep or what?
Elizabeth Lambert is obviously in the wrong profession. She should be in the UFC. Pop the lid to see Lambert, arguably the gulliest player in women’s soccer, in action.
Update: Elizabeth Lambert has been suspended indefinitely for engaging in rough play. She’s apologized for her actions.
“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. 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.”
