Where can I see video of the fight between BYU and New Mexico women soccer players?
Elizabeth Lambert is a New Mexico women’s soccer player who turned the BYU vs. New Mexico game in the Mountain West Conference Tournament this week into a brawl. Lambert was seen elbowing, pushing, pulling hair and kicking BYU players in one of the most shocking displays of dirty play you’ll ever see. BYU won the game 1-0, and BYU freshman forward Carlee Payne, who scored the only goal, said afterward that it was a rough game: “It was a very tough game, very physical,” Payne said. “They wanted it as badly as we did but we were able to get the goal. It was a close game but no one thought that would be the only score to go in.” There’s been no word from the Mountain West Conference about what action will be taken against Lambert, but it should be substantial.This was some of the dirtiest play you’ll ever see, in any sport.

ESPN’s website has video of several skirmishes between New Mexico and BYU players plus commentary from Julie Foudy. Foudy is a former member of the United States women’s national soccer team and a two time Olympic Gold Medalist. The fighting occurred during the Mountain West Conference Soccer Championship semifinal game between New Mexico and BYU. The most flagrant moment occurred when New Mexico defender Elizabeth Lambert grabbed Cougar forward Kassidy Shumway’s hair and yanked her violently to the turf inside the 18-yard box. As a result, New Mexico soccer coach Kit Vela suspended Lambert indefinitely. She is prohibited from participating in all team practices, competition and conditioning activities. By the way, BYU won the game 1-0.
