ELIZABETH LAMBERT, New Mexico Lobo soccer team player just showed the whole world how much tough and ruthless she can be on the field. In the middle of the match she punched, smacked, pulled hair of other player and even kicked the ball in the other women’s face.

Elizabeth Lambert grabbed a girl’s hair, pulled it extremely hard to the floor, thinking that no one was watching her. She even punched the back of one of the defenders and even purposefully kicked the soccer ball into the face of a fallen player. Last but not the least when she was trying to get the ball, she started swinging wildly striking her opponents in the face a number of times. Her violent play was unnoticed till 77 minutes, when she got the first yellow card for colliding with the opponent.

However, she got only 2 yellow cards the whole game, but was immediately suspended indefinitely from the New Mexico Soccer Team after officials and fans saw the video footage of her misdeeds. She won’t be even allowed to practice with the team for her crappy behavior.

Kit Vela, New Mexico’s coach said that Liz was a quality student athlete but her actions were clearly not acceptable.

Lambert said that she was deeply and wholeheartedly regretful for her action that was uncalled for. She even said that she let her emotions get the best of her in a heated situation.
