Another Women's Soccer Game Breaks Out at Fight
By Ryan Wilson - AOL NewsI'm not sure if it qualifies as an epidemic, but the prevalence of women fighting on the soccer field sure seems to be on the rise in recent years. Ten months ago, we saw University of New Mexico defender Elizabeth Lambert rag-doll and push opponents all over the pitch and she was subsequently suspended. (Why the referee didn't red-card her during the game is still a mystery.) Then there was this high school girls soccer brawl that took place within weeks of Lambert's actions. And it continues unabated, apparently. This time between players from the University of Oregon and Oklahoma ...

Elizabeth Lambert: The Video Made Me Look Like a Monster
By Michael David Smith - AOL NewsTwo weeks after her dirty play against BYU became a YouTube sensation, New Mexico women's soccer player Elizabeth Lambert told the New York Times that she feels reporse and barely recognizes the person she sees on tape -- but also that things weren't as bad as they looked, that she may have been the victim of sexism and that BYU players weren't all innocent victims. Lambert, who pushed, elbowed and yanked the hair of BYU players during the game, tells Times reporter Jere Longman:"I think the way the video came out, it did make me look like a monster. That's not the type of player I am. I'm ...
New Mexico Women's Soccer Suspends Elizabeth Lambert
By Michael David Smith - AOL NewsVisit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Elizabeth Lambert has been suspended from the New Mexico women's soccer program after a stunning series of cheap shots in a game against BYU. In the match, Lambert punched a BYU player in the back, threw a few quick punches at a player's head, and also executed a dangerous slide tackle on defense. But the play that garnered the most attention was when Lambert grabbed an opposing BYU player's ponytail while behind her, and violently threw her to the ground by her hair. In response to Lambert's rough play, University of ...
