The University of New Mexico needs a good PR firm to clean up their public image. That's not a joke, it's a serious suggestion. As if the UNM athletic department didn't have enough of a black eye in the national media with the Mike Locksley situation, now soccer player Elizabeth Lambert makes the school look REALLY bad. If you haven't seen it yet, you're probably one of about 3 people in the country who hasn't, check it out on the web. It's not that difficult to find. Lambert was seen on t.v. pulling down a BYU soccer player BY HER HAIR! Tripping, punching, forearm shoving, hair pulling… it's all in there. My written description doesn't do it justice. You have to see it. It was completely inappropriate and the University and Lambert have since admitted so. The school released a statement by Lambert that read:
The UNM women’s soccer team beat Wyoming, 1-0, in the quarterfinals of the Mountain West Conference tournament. They will face BYU in the semifinals.
