The fight captured on video by WPRI-TV broke out Sunday with about a minute left in a match between Woonsocket and Tolman high schools.
Woonsocket was leading 5-0 when two players collided, setting off the fray. Fans fought in the bleachers during an awards ceremony.
Woonsocket coach Kathleen Fagnant says she doesn't know how the fight started but says she isn't going to "take the fall for that."
Rough play has already made a video sensation of New Mexico player Elizabeth Lambert. She was suspended Friday after grabbing a BYU player's ponytail and slamming her to the ground.
