The schools website just released a statement saying, “University of New Mexico head women's soccer coach Kit Vela announced today that junior defender Elizabeth Lambert has been suspended indefinitely for her actions in Thursday's match against BYU in the semifinals of the Mountain West Conference Championship in Provo, Utah.”
RadarOnline.com contacted the NCAA to see what their input was on the incident and were told, “Regular season and conference are overseen by the schools and the conference themselves. They’re the ones that dictate what happens. We’re certainly here to provide advice if they ask, but otherwise it’s up to them.” Calls to NMU’s head coach, Kit Vela, and the Athletic Department Administration were not returned.

She’s majoring in University Studies with a focus on Occupational Therapy, which should come in handy after all the havoc she’s been causing on the soccer field!
