New Mexico Soccer Player Suspended!
VIDEO! Here again is the video of that New Mexico Women’s Soccer player suspended. Elizabeth Lambert was suspended Friday from the New Mexico Women’s college soccer team.
In a video first profiled on LALATE Friday, Lambert’s antics on the field against BYU’s Kassidy Shumway have sice become the biggest soccer replay video this month, bigger than an FIFA qualifying match, for all the wrong reasons. Now Monday, Lambert is unable to play, but her video is going viral, being replayed across sports tv broadcasts all weekend long.
On Friday, the video became the highlight clip of the moment on ESPN SportsCenter. By weekend, it became a YouTube sensation. Now Monday, the story still hasn’t died. In the end, Lambert’s team lost.
Lambert says she is sorry. “My actions were uncalled for. I let my emotions get the best of me in a heated situation…. This is no way indicative of my character or the soccer player I am.”
Online reaction included the following remarks:
I? am sure her parents are sooooo proud.
hey …. ever seen american football people get? paralyzed during games
her behavior was criminal. She brings shame to her school and her sport.?
She needs to be charged with assault. I wouldn’t let her? do that to me.
New Mexico coach Kit Vela issued the following words about Lambert Friday:
“Liz is a quality student athlete but in this instance her actions clearly crossed the line of fair play and good sportsmanship.”

what a HOrrible person Elizabeth Lambert is.
she should not only be ashamed, but reflect upon what type of human being she is!
by her violent actions she has embarrassed her entire university and it goes to show what type of program they are running at unm. disgraceful.

Put her in the cage with Cris Cyborg so she can show us how she does in a real fight, instead of a series of punk-ass cheap shots on a soccer field. What a complete loser. Does she deserve to have a paid education?

Please!
Can you see that the opposite players are using violence on her too?
I can tell you that they will not use the same strategy on her again, and she reacted and put your self in her place, what would you have done?

Claudia could you please publish de video where it shows she got exactly the same treatment.
She must have a real emotional problem. And the news is full of people horrible behaviors guided by emotional problems.
She needs psychological attention.

She compared this to figure skating where Tanya Harding was involved in the assault on Nancy Karigan. Harding was SUSPENDED for LIFE. Assault is a crime and if I were the BYU player I’d get an attorney and sue her ass off (of course that would mean she would no longer exist because she is a complete ass). If she did this on campus she would be doing jail time Albuquerque. Not a nice place for a blonde chica to be - but a deserving place for her.
