Here's a link to the ESPN video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvEobeNfGcc Yup, girls, little princesses, playing nice  I've reffed a LOT of upper youth and amateur soccer in the last year, and I'd take men over woman any day. Men will kill each other, but its predictable, woman are just down right mean! |

Yeah I saw that She has been suspended until further notice from what I heard. If it were up to me I'd ban her forever. It doesn't matter what the age is, that kinda stuff is unacceptable period! Unless it's cage fighting....even then hair pulling isn't allowed/ |

Scariest part, at least from my perspective as a ref, there were at least 3 clear cut red cards and 3 yellow cards 1,2 or them could be argued to be red (red card is an ejection and suspension). What she got: 1 yellow card for the most tame thing on the video!
Refs also should have been suspended.

There's so much politics at that level for the assignments and college coaches can actually black ball refs, good theory, bad idea. I know a couple at the national college level and they all say the same thing. You make a game changing call against most coaches and they will black ball you, right or not.
Ken, who's the ref you know? I know many that would qualify for last weekends championships and most of the ones going to this weekends state championships, wondering if we have mutual acquaintances.

Ahh HS refs, hate the system of reffing they use, it's terrible, the only soccer in the entire world that uses a 2 man system.  I know the name, but have never worked with him. I don't do HS yet, to much fun watching my son play rather than reffing it. Maybe next year now that he's done in HS soccer. |

Not know the entire story, only what was shown on the video, but it seems to me that the BYU player started it with the elbow. In my world (yes I know it is different than most) I mind my own business until provoked. An elbow in the gut would have been it for me. Not say that she should not have gotten a yellow or a red, but who is to say that there was not other play involved that was not shown.
I would share a foxhole with her anyday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
