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.
There are three midfielders, and four attack players (two high, two
low). 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.
