College soccer: New Mexico’s Elizabeth Lambert tries to get a red card (New Mexico soccer player suspended video)

We don’t post too many blogs on college soccer, but random acts of sports-related violence are often good enough to make the cut.
Check out this video of New Mexico defender Elizabeth Lambert trying her best to get a red card during a match against BYU last week (by the way, all she got was a yellow card):
The Lancaster Paraclete graduate was suspended indefinitely by New Mexico after video of her BYU beatdown hit the Internet on Friday. I hope she didn’t learn that while practicing corner kicks at the Lancaster National Soccer Center.
Lambert apologized for her actions, but New Mexico needs to consider whether it would be smart allowing her to play again with all the negative attention she’s brought to the school. Of course, where was the coach in all of this? And how about the ref? What do you need to do to get kicked out of a game?
