Police: College soccer player assaulted teammate over award

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) -- A University of Bridgeport women's soccer player has been charged with assaulting a teammate over what police say was a perceived snub at an awards ceremony.

The Connecticut Post (http://bit.ly/1GOFXXt ) reports that Danielle Puddefoot is accused of head-butting a teammate in a dorm room on April 30 following the team's annual sports awards banquet.

Police say the 22-year-old senior from Slough, England, was upset after not receiving an award and confronted teammates at a post-banquet party.

The injured teammate was treated at a hospital for swelling on the right side of her face and two black eyes.
