Cat Fight Breaks Out During BYU-New Mexico Soccer Game (Video)
Total Pro Sports — Hair-pulling, Tripping, Suckerpunches, Cheapshot elbows and Kicking teeth in. That brand of violence doesn’t even fly inside the UFC’s octagon, let alone on an NCAA women’s soccer field. Nonetheless, during Thursday’s Mountain West Conference Tournament semifinal contest between the BYU Cougars and New Mexico Lobos, all of those things pretty much happened. In fact, WWE head honchu Vince McMahon might give some of these girls a call — New Mexico defender Elizabeth Lambert (No. 15), I’m looking at you — after that pier six brawl. This was a brutal ...

New Mexico’s Liz Lambert – The New Face Of Women’s College Athletics
Can't Stop The Bleeding — If you’re wondering what could possibly cause women’s collegiate soccer highlights to receive more airtime on the overnight “SportsCenter” than the MLS playofs, consider the unique approach of New Mexico defender Elizabeth Lambert, who might well become the female equivalent of LeGarrette Blount by noon Friday.  You can add my voice to the chorus calling for a suspension —- preferably of the blind person employed by the Mountain West Conference to referee this match.

Roy Williams Will Not Have You Mistaking Him for TO, Thank You
The700Level.com - Philly Sports & Minutiae — I don't know what it is about sports that makes us enjoy the valleys of our rivals almost as much as our own teams' peaks. I believe the Germans call it schadenfreude, and try as I might (not really) to be above it, I can't help but get a laugh when a Cowboys star tries to detonate his cresting team.  Kulp mentioned yesterday that Roy ...

Is this the dirtiest person in sports?
A Stern Warning - NBA, NBL and FIBA News & Views — This is probably the first non-basketball post on A Stern Warning, but people really need to see this. Women's soccer (aka football) just got ugly. Really ugly. New Mexico's Elizabeth Lambert, take a bow, you may just be the dirtiest player in all of sport. She has some serious aggression issues to sort out. Check out this montage of her dastardly deeds.

Meet the Female Rodney Harrison
Dave's Football Blog — Every football team needs an enforcer. Bolton keeps Kevin Davies around for a reason. University of New Mexico defender Elizabeth Lambert, however, seems quite willing to ignore that fine line between playing hard and playing dirty. Or maybe she just figured that if Troy Polamalu’s hair is fair game, her opponents’ ponytails are, too. Seriously, all she got was a yellow card? Did the ref think he was in the Azteca or something? (Thanks, @bomani_jones.)

Chick Fight! Dig it!
The Slanch Report — During a semifinals match between the women’s soccer teams from BYU and New Mexico things started to get a bit ugly after BYU took a 1-0 lead. The main offender was Elizabeth Lambert from New Mexico who played more like a linebacker than a soccer player; she proceeded to punch an opponent in the back, grab a girl and throw her down to the ground by the ...

Meet Elizabeth Lambert, the Roughest Soccer Player in the World
The Offside — Meet Elizabeth Lambert, the Roughest Soccer Player in the World By: Daryl | November 6th, 2009 I’ve seen the above game described as a “catfight”, but that absolutely does not do it justice. Bringham Young University vs New Mexico in the Women’s Mountain West Conference college tournament last night was more like the roughest game of soccer ever captured on YouTube, and it featured the roughest display of defending I’ve ever seen. New Mexico #15 Elizabeth Lambert puts in more than one nasty tackle, punches an opponent in the back and somehow gets away with yanking an opponent to the floor by the ponytail. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if she was ...

New Mexico Women's Soccer: Probably Tougher Than Cristiano Ronaldo
The Sporting Blog — Soccer can be a rough game, especially in the top-flight European leagues, where jersey pulls and raps on the shins are basically part of the fabric of the game. But it's apparently roughest in the Mountain West Conference's Women's Soccer Tournament, where BYU beat New Mexico 1-0 in ...

WAC SOCCER GETS CATTY…RAWR!
With Leather - Sports news and gossip, panda sex, and the occasional Toonces the driving cat Photoshop — Here comes your women’s soccer post for 2009, courtesy of New Mexico defender Elizabeth Lambert. Lambert played in the Lobos’ WAC semifinal against BYU, and took some time out to go Mormon hunting, as seen in this ESPN clip. It looks to me that she’s spending more time fighting for women’s rights than simply gooning it up. Sure, she’s fighting other women, but that’s where the groundswell starts, in my opinion. And I’d by lying if I said I wasn’t a little turned on…BYU won this game, 1-0. No, I didn’t really care either. ...

Dirty Deeds, Hair-Pulling, and Tripping: It's the MWC Semi-Final of Ladies Soccer
Outside the Boxscore — When Mountain West Ladies Soccer hits Outside the Boxscore, there is probably something having to do with either an amazing play or a girl fight. During the MWC semi-final matchup between New Mexico and BYU, New Mexico defender Elizabeth Lambert decided to get a little chippy with some BYU players. This including hair-pulling, tripping, and some MMA moves. Can we officially call her the dirtiest player since Marco Materazzi? (Courtesy of The Sports Pig Blog) ...

Female Soccer Player Goes Nuts
TheScore.com Blog — Now… I say “goes nuts”, but that might not be entirely true. New Mexico defender Elizabeth Lambert may, in this video from Sports By Brooks—via linkmaster @TasMelas—simply be trying to make a point about the hopelessly ineffective officiating that goes on in NCAA women’s soccer. Or she might just be a… uh… well… a word I’d rather not say. Either way, I think we can all agree, if a guy was doing this he’d obviously be a giant piece of shit. But when it’s Elizabeth here… it’s actually kinda hot. Rawwr! ...

Welcome to the College Football Guys FIRST EVER post about lovely New Mexico! With so many nice things to say about the place unfortunately today we have to be negative.

Foothill alum Carlee Payne makes Sports Center
East Bay Prep Corner — Some of you might have seen this already, but 2009 East Bay girls soccer Player of the Year Carlee Payne, who is now at BYU, was shown in an odd Sports Center highlight last night. She scored the winning goal in BYU’s 1-0 win over New Mexico … and was on the receiving end of what we’ll call “physical play” from a UNM defender. It’s worth a watch. Payne leads BYU with 13 goals and 10 assists this year as the Cougars have gone 17-2-2.

BYU vs. New Mexico women’s soccer: Cheap shots, violence, fighting, and hair pulling
Sports Rubbish — When I first heard that there had been a fight between the women’s soccer teams from BYU and New Mexico, I assumed that my fellow sports bloggers were just blowing a minor skirmish out of proportion just because they were happy to see a “catfight.” I was wrong. This wasn’t soccer, it was war. While this game might not have featured a full-on brawl, it did feature repeated violent incidents, with Elizabeth Lambert’s hair-pulling of BYU player Kassidy Shumway serving as the cherry on the sundae of cheap shots. Lambert was a menace on the pitch, engaging in several incidents ...

Elizabeth Lambert Hair Yank (C’mon, ref, let ‘em play.)

New Mexico Soccer Player Inadvertenty Helps Soccer's Pansy Image
DETROIT4LYFE — Take a look at these highlights from the New Mexico/BYU women's soccer match. I guess some people would call Elizabeth Lambert scrappy.  Others might call her dirty and say,  "that's one crazy bitch."  And then there are few who might even be slightly aroused by this type of behavior. Personally, I think I now enjoy women's college soccer more than any type of men's soccer.  Van Pelt says the above highlights have "MMA qualities" and rightly so.  Meanwhile, men's soccer has a lot of "WWF qualities," and by that I mean, a whole lot of ridiculous fake dives.   Kudos Ms. Lambert for ...

Violence in Women\'s Soccer (Video)
Rob Robson's Blog: Sport and.. ..stuff. — My attention was drawn to this video, which was described as a "catfight", on a sport psychology mailing list this morning. It isn't a catfight, but a series of violent acts by a player during a single - televised - soccer match between Brigham Young University and New Mexico. Remarkable, isn't it? The comments I've seen this morning ranged from what might be wrong with her, to how her coach could keep her on the field, how the referee (or assistants) didn't pick this up, and even commentary on the media attention it has had. Apparently it has had some attention as a 'humour' piece, raising the fair ...

BYU won the match 1-0, but the main talking point was a performance of Norman Hunter-esque aggression from New Mexico’s Elizabeth Lambert. Lambert dished out a series of full-on assaults throughout the match, culminating with slamming someone to the ground by their ponytail. Roberto Baggio never had to put up with that!

Now that player, Elizabeth Lambert, is doing her best to quell the uprising indignation emanating from the media, and not just from the sports world. “I still deeply regret it and will always regret it and will carry it through the rest of my life not to retaliate,” said Lambert, a 20-year-old junior on scholarship. “I look at it and I’m like, ‘That is not me,’ ” said Lambert, a defender and an all-conference academic player. “I have so much regret.
