ELIZABETH LAMBERT, NEW MEXICO SOCCER PLAYER INDEFINITELY SUSPENDED

PROVO, Utah - New Mexico Soccer player, Elizabeth Lambert was indefinitely suspended from playing Friday for her infractions the day before during a 1-0 loss to BYU in a Mountain West Conference semifinal. Lambert was seen in video highlights during the game throwing elbows, colliding several players and yanking the ponytail of a BYU player who went crushing to the ground.

In an statement released by New Mexico, Lambert said, "My actions were uncalled for." I let my emotions get the best of myself in a heated situation."

Coach Kit Vela said, "Liz is a quality-student athlete, but in this instance her actions clearly crossed the line of fair play and a good sportsmanship."

Lambert was asking for an apology but damage has been done that deserves her to be penalized.
