Elizabeth Lambert doesn’t know what got into her, says Jeré Longman in The New York Times. On Nov. 5, the University of New Mexico junior achieved instant notoriety when, while playing in a soccer game against Brigham Young University, she grabbed the ponytail of an opposing player and pulled her to the ground. When the incident was posted on YouTube, it stunned not only the millions who viewed it but Lambert herself. “I look at it and I’m like, ‘That is not me.’ I can’t believe I did that.” Lambert, who was suspended indefinitely from her team, has apologized repeatedly, but for some, that’s not enough.

It’s more expected for men to go out there and be rough.” Still, the enmity has taken its toll; Lambert sometimes wakes up in a sweat and has started therapy. “I’m working on my mental game to never let that happen again.”

Elizabeth Lambert Comes Full Circle

New Mexico roughhouser Elizabeth Lambert has done it all—she beat up a chick on television, became a national pariah, then a cautionary tale, and now has a soft-focus mea culpa in The New York Times. Next stop: Hollywood!

Lambert wisely chose the Times over say, Maxim or (worse) Newsweek, to give her first interview since being suspended over rough play against BYU. There were basically three messages she wanted to get across. One, rough play is a part of soccer life. Two, even though she temporarily lost her mind, she is not a she-devil. Three, you're all a bunch of sicko pervs.

She is absolutely right when she claims that the public reaction was mostly a result of her being a girl. Lambert says was most upset that people assumed that because she plays the game a little dirty, she must be some kind of bi-curious S&M freak. (No, she will not go on a date with you, anonymous loser.) It doesn't really help that the Times photographer turned her into a J. Crew model for a story that is essentially about sports, but as far as image rehabilitation projects go, I'd say this one is pretty successful.

Lambert—who only received two yellow cards in her career before the BYU game—was suspended indefinitely, but New Mexico'
