MODERN WOMEN'S LACROSSE POSITIONS

There are 12 players on the women's field for one team at a time including the goalie.  The modern game does not refer to past terminology such as first-third home, cover point, etc... and follows the terminology found in other sports with terms such as attack, midfield, defense and goalie. 

There are four defense players (two low defense and two high defense), three midfielders, four attack players (two high, two low); and a goalie.  High and low refer to the position of the players when behind the restraining line. Some teams make one defender and one attacker, a "defensive wing" or "attacking wing". The theory behind this is that the wing player would act as a sort of midfielder. In reality all four defense and attack players must stay behind the restraining line, so no midfield for them. Although the position of wings in some cases refers to the player who would cross the restraining line should a midfielder not be able to.
