I just saw this on SportsCenter. I was completely on Lambert's side after the BYU player elbowed her. Then some replays were being shown where she was being aggressive with the other team and I liked that and I didn't fault her for it. But as the highlight went on, she is shown ripping an opposing player down to the ground by her ponytail, very dangerously whipping her head back. THEN she swipes at an opposing player's face!

I went from being on her side to wanting some punishment laid down on her within a matter of seconds. I rarely call for punishment because I know what it's like to get caught up in the moment and I believe that a lot of the punishments these days are excessive, but this is one exception I will make. Almost everyone learns from a little suspension, but wow this girl might need something more than just that. New Mexico's season is over, but Lambert is a junior and should see some suspension handed down next year.

This was AWESOME.

Lambert's play was inexcusable--she deserves to be suspended for the season. 

If every game was played like this, I would start to watch women's soccer.

Love it!!!  I wish it was raining!

Wow! And we thought eye gouging a football player was bad.......

not sure why she was still in the game, after grabbing some girl's ponytail and pulling her to the ground.  Trouble is there's so much diving in soccer no one knows when you're really hurt.

Not sure why that was so awesome. Kicking a ball into another girl's face?

number 15 should been thrown from the game after she pull the girl down to the ground by her ponytail. then she kick into the face of a falling player, that is unsportman like conduct!! I am surprise that the whole BYU team went after her. I know I would rally my team member to go on all out assult!!

She should definitely be suspended, and that was terrible.

That being said, that is what it takes for me to want to watch women's soccer.

I don't mind seeing them get into it, because its part of the game. the game is play that you will get a few cuts here and there, some bumps and bruise is okay but not to cripple or disable another player. I watch the girl soccer when ever ESPN air it.

I've been playing for over 20 years and this is by far the dirtiest and stupidest girl I have ever seen!  Guys are so stupid the ones that are saying this is cool or sexy.  No it's not cool she could have paralyzed that girl that she pulled from the pony tail.  I really hope they kick her out and press charges b/c she's not okay from the head seriously

I've played a lot of soccer (truthfully it should be called football) and most of it was competitive in nature. You'd be surprised what people get away with and the reason they get away with it is that they watch the referees and do stuff when the refs aren't watching.

This Lambert chick is psycho though...there is no way she should be allowed to continue to play.

I agree with you 1000%! after I veiw the video I wanted to haul off the field straight to jail! playing sports is to have fun and not to hurt someone. I don't buy it when the player said it was an accident. yeah, you just accident yourself in jail.

Thats not a cat fight  Acat fight is 2 participant not just one being a pyscho bitch that cant handle losing I wonder what New Mexico is going to do pull an Urban Meyer..Lucky she dont play in the SEC she might be up for an award

Thats what i'm talking about !!!!!!!

I'm surprised she wasnt red carded. That is one dirty chick!

Dirty chicks know how to have fun.  In all seriousness, she will get a pretty good suspension for it.

She is probably an ODP player - they love players like that.  This is completely the referees fault. The referee needs to take control of the game from the beginning. The first elbow from the BYU player and then this "player"s push should have brought some words of warning from the referee. From that point on any dirty play(not just regular fouls) the ponytail pull and the ball to the face should have warranted a yellow and then red card and she should be suspended. I also blame her coach. She obviously plays that way any time she can get away with it and the coach probably encourages it.

don't f*** with the mormons. she may have beaten them down, but who won in the end? byu did.

I have seen nearly 300 girls youth soccer games in the last 12 years, and 20 DIII women's college games live, and quite a few televised D1 games. I have a daughter who plays, and I generally love women's soccer. In that time, I have seen probably 30 red card offenses and exactly ZERO red cards given, and I can't tell you how many uncalled yellow card offenses. There were at least three yellow cards in this video, all of which were dangerous enough to injure the player. I love physical games, but when a ref allows physical play that increases the potential for serious injury, it is inexplicable. Watch some EPL games, folks, and get a sense what should be called...a hip check on someone going full tilt toward the box is a card...all body contact without any ball contact...I've been told refs often don't call cards at college games because they are heavily dependent on coaches for their names being included on home game referee lists, and so they don't want to piss off the coaches. I agree with the posters; that young woman should sit for a portion of her senior season ... dangerous plays are often reviewed in the EPL and suspensions given after the fact based on video coverage...a three-game suspension would be justified here. Do the right thing, MOuntain Conference.

That's exactly correct they are calling a cat fight and on CNN in the morning they were saying she was "FEARLESS" excuse me but I don't think that is the correct word to describe her it's "PSyCHO" anyway I do hope that people on TV start expressing themselves in a way that it doesn't encourage her but instead make her ashamed of herself.  When I saw when she just punched the girl in the back I was amazed at how she lost it but then when I saw everything else she did I was mad! It's true what someone said about the coaches having some fault b/c obviously this girl plays like that b/c the coaches and the ref's let her otherwise she wouldn't be giving this kind of ridiculous sportsmanship. Freakin suspend her

wow how was she not red-carded and ejected from the game? i've seen better referees in the NFL and that's saying a lot. i understand she was pissed cause she got elbowed in the gut but if you're gonna get back at the other players for playing dirty don't go down to their level. instead just beat them at the game itself.

like every single sports fan wasn't thinking about Jack Lambert...someone should knock her teeth out too

whenever Julie Foudy gets face time we are usually in for some boredom, but this time, not so much

Jub, you get MAD respect for this post, my friend.

If I were a New Mexico player I would be very very careful. You can't go after the Mormons and not expect retribution:

Rodney Harrison approves of Lambert's play.

coach, player, and ref should all be suspended after that game....

That wasn't a "cat-fight". That was some dangerously dirty play and that chick deserves to lose her place on the team. I hope the BYU chick got her ass in the locker room.

Whoa, she's crazy!

Saw that this morning on Sportscenter, nasty. The NCAA Officials need to get those two ladies together... in one of the little kiddie pools with about 50 gallons of Jello. 

If you care enough to comment, e-mail the Mountain West Conference deputy commissioner...it's on the Mountain West web site and let him know...I did.

Hahaha, mad respect for this comment.

if only there had been mud. And wrestling. Just saying.

wow, I didn't know that the SEC would give out an award for that kind of behavior. I would to see he do that to one of those WWE divas lol

yep! I would like to know how many ref seen it but didn't do anything about it. second what did the school do anything about it?

University of New Mexico suspended her from the team today. Season is over, but she won't be participating in any team activities in the near future. Let's see what happens next fall.

This takes the old saying "that time of the month" to a whole new level, doesnt it?

THAT's SO WRONG! It was niggly and funny until that hair pulling stunt. Gonna be a whole lotta "door knocking" in New Mexico soon...don't mess with those Latter Day Saints

I agree, i play soccer, and the very first foul should have been yellow, the second one was a second yellow and witch becomes a red, she should have been gone in the first 10 minutes, yes the girl from BYU elbowed her, but you don't need to attack every single player on the team. everything she did was unacceptable. She should be gone for the season.

someone needs to remind ms lambert that she plays SOCCER, not RUGBY.

Greate wife/mom material...The general public just witnessed signs of having an abusive personality.   Scary!! 

I want this girl on my team any day. Physical play is the best. The hair pulling does go over the line, but the rest of the tackles, getting your elbow in the other players back, standing on their foot, a tough tackle... I'm good with all of that.

Plus it was pretty hot to see a girl that cares about winning so much that she'd actually go that crazy.

 Someone should have stopped that earlyer and a supsension should be issued IMMEDETLY

Wow, just Wow, that was ..... unbelievable. 

I wonder how she is in the sack!

 The funniest part of the whole video is when the one girl goes down and she kicks the soccer ball right into her face.  I have been laughing since this morning.  

Yep...that was my favorite part of the whole video. 

There is nothing funnier than someone getting hit in the face with a soccer ball...unless its a guy who gets hit in the "Onions" with it.

she was suspended i knew it was coming

those are the funniest videos ever. this chick was on a mission. if all soccer was like that i may pay to go and watch it.

wonder if any Roller Derby scouts watching?

the ref deserves a RED Card for is actons!

YAWN !................. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

You know, I'm, like, a dude, and I like that sort of thing, but that's really beside the point, here. The fact is, the rules are supposed to prevent this. And all the people talking about this making them want to watch the sport is really more that most people who don't watch soccer, or any game for that matter, just don't understand the sport. Europeans didn't understand football for years, but now look at it's popularity over there. A while back, the Queen came to America and saw a baseball game, and the President was explaining it to her as it went along. It's not a matter of who gets into fights, but how well you know the game.

A lot more of it is like this than you think. Give soccer a chance and you'll be surprised by how physical it can be.

Kassidy Shumay got what she deserved.  If you were watching the video she was trying to pull Lambert's shorts up her hooha right before getting decked.  If she is going to play dirty then she should expect it in return.

The BYU players were playing just as dirty and all of you on this board want to side with them.  Take a good look at the tape.  They were just as dirty.

been to a few pro and non-pro games and i have never seen anything like that.

That makes soccer worth watching!

where have you been? lol

she might bite!!!! lol  oh no, wait a minute she might be a graduate from Lorina Bobbitt and you will end up with nothing at all....lol..lol

that is a good one suzanneclark12!!  the only question is can she skate? I would like to watch her
