Everyone loves a good cat fight…wait let me rephrase that…every ‘man’ loves a good cat fight. Last Thursday in the Mountain West Conference tournament semi-final women’s soccer game between BYU and New Mexico, Elizabeth Lambert, New Mexico’s defender took things a little too far…CAT FIGHT!

The game was competitive and very physical already but it was New Mexico’s Elizabeth Lambert who made LeGarrett Blount’s sucker punch on Boise State’s Brandon Spike look like an undercard to this main event. Lambert  kidney-punched a BYU player in the back. She didn’t get a card for that little infraction. Then she took it up a notch by kicking a ball right into a fallen opponent’s grill from point-blank range. She got carded for that little stunt. She managed to get some cheap shots in around the field until she got in her final attack.  After a small bust up with BYU’s Kassidy Shumway, Lambert got up and viciously yanked Shumway to the ground by her ponytail. CAT FIGHT!

I’ve heard of physical play on the field but this girl had a mental breakdown and just lost control on the field. It’s all good to see a good scrap between women, but Lambert took it a little too far. Oh, by the way…she’s been suspended indefinitely by the NCAA and rightfully so.
