UofL heartbreak

University of Louisville’s men’s soccer team narrowly missed out on a place in the Big East Championship final when losing to Notre Dame 4-3 on penalty kicks last night in West Virginia. The game was scoreless after 90 minutes and two overtime periods. The Irish will take on St John’s in Sunday’s decider (12 noon).

a little too physical ..

This ESPN clip, which came to our attention last week, received quite a bit of nationwide publicity today. It features the somewhat ‘unsportsmanlike’ behavior of New Mexico’s Elizabeth Lambert in the college’s Mountain West Conference Championship semi-final game against BYU in Utah last Thursday. By the way, it took 77 minutes before Lambert was finally yellow carded! And no, she wasn’t sent off, although she has since been indefinitely suspended from participating in all team games or practices. Lambert’s apology also appears on New Mexico’s website. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4628040&categoryid=2378529
