women's lacrosse

Ladies' field sport

Women's lacrosse is a field sport played with sticks having netted heads, used to catch, carry, and throw a ball toward the opposing goal.

Unlike men's lacrosse, the women's game traditionally prohibits most physical contact and requires less protective equipment—typically just goggles and mouthguards.

Teams field twelve players rather than ten: She played attack in women's lacrosse through college.
