Female college soccer player beats up other players, officials do nothing

Video report here. Oh, they finally did stop her, after she had aggressively fouled almost every player on the other team.
What is of interest here is the reactions (or lack thereof) of the officials, her coach, and her team-mates. No one lifted a finger or called foul until it became so egregious that someone had to do something. "Girls don't behave that way," is the assumption, so cognitive dissonance kicks in and it takes her nearly having to start pummeling the other players openly to get someone to stop her.

She should be banned from all college sports, IMO.
IMO, after seeing her pull that other girls ponytail so hard she could have given her a spinal injury, I think it is unconscionable for officials not to ban the perpetrator of that un-sportswoman like behavior from all college sports - permanently!
