No NCAA Sanctions On UNM Soccer Team

unm.edu

  The NCAA says it won't impose sanctions on the University of New Mexico women's soccer team over hazing.

KOB-TV reports that the governing body said Wednesday it leaves all allegation of hazing for schools to address.

Last week, the University of New Mexico suspended women's soccer coach Kit Vela for a week without pay and suspended 22 players for one game over the hazing episode.

The soccer team later apologized for a hazing case that sent two players to the hospital for excessive alcohol intoxication.

Officials say the suspensions for the players will be staggered across the season so UNM can field a team.
