It is evident to ESPN soccer analyst and former international star, Julie Foudy, that the play was excessively rough. It could have caused serious injury. The play of Elizabeth Lambert of the University of New Mexico was caught on tape:
“… 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.”

The video is disconcerting.
