The University of New Mexico properly banned Elizabeth Lambert, 20 from her team, after she engaged in conduct that could be considered criminal or civil assault and battery in a court of law.

Playing in a soccer match against rival Brigham Young University Lambert can be seen in the video (below) kicking, punching and even yanking an opponent to the ground by her ponytail.

Lambert released the following apology: "I am deeply and wholeheartedly regretful for my actions. My actions were uncalled for. I let my emotions get the best of me in a heated situation. I take full responsibility for my actions and accept any punishment felt necessary from the coaching staff and UNM administration."

The University has suspended Lambert indefinitely from all athletic facilities and programs.
