yea , you need to be a stud to hold up a stick and move 3 feet in two directions
In reality, anyone can score in lacrosse, it's the easiest thing to do. Any 5th grader can score on the best goalies if given enough shots. Stopping a girl from scoring is far more difficult. Anyone that says being a defender is easy never played a competitive sport.
You are so correct, this is probably some asshat who grew up in Queens and never held a lacrosse stick. A lot of the defenders are some of the best athletes on the team. When you watch some of the higher quality playoff games in HS and high level travel teams you will see some tremendous defense with incredible speed and agility. You also need to keep in mind that no one on the filed is at more of a disadvantage then a defender. The rules are so slanted towards the offense.
Perhaps your daughter has been involved in some of the lower level games where there is limited defense and everyone goes to goal. Go watch a Mt. Sinai game once in a while. Man to man, zone...etc.
