A crease defender in women’s lacrosse is a defensive player responsible for protecting the area around the goal, particularly against attackers who operate behind or near the goal line extended (GLE). The primary objective of the crease defender is to prevent the attacker from getting into the middle of the field, close to the goal, and to force them wide or away from dangerous scoring areas.
Double-teaming in women’s lacrosse is a defensive strategy used to trap an attacker, apply pressure, and create turnovers, especially in critical game moments.
