Understanding the Pick and Roll in Women’s Lacrosse
The pick and roll is a highly effective offensive strategy in women’s lacrosse, designed to create mismatches and scoring opportunities. It involves one player setting a screen for the ball carrier, forcing the defender to navigate around the pick, creating space for the ball carrier to either shoot or pass. Once the screen is set, the picker “rolls” towards the goal, providing an additional passing or scoring option. This strategy leverages the defense’s reaction to generate openings, making it a valuable tactic in breaking down defensive setups.
