Move Over Brandon Spikes, It’s Elizabeth Lambert’s Turn

November 6, 2009

Rest easy Brandon Spikes, you are no longer the dirtiest player in the NCAA. Introducing the dirtiest athlete since Hines Wards, Elizabeth Lambert. Last night during the semi-finals of the Mountain West Conference Women’s Soccer between the New Mexico Lobos and the BYU Cougars, Lambert got a little extra curricular on more than one occasion.

This is the most unacceptable thing I have seen in sports in a long time. Let’s all just rest easy knowing that Urban Meyer won’t be giving out the punishment…

The University of New Mexico head coach Kit Vela has suspended Elizabeth Lambert idefinitely. She is, effective immediately, prohibited from participating in ALL team functions. Full story and her apology here.
