What is the purpose of dropping the stick after a score?


Refs have to check their sticks for the right pocket size.

It's a rule.


Unique to the women’s game?

I don’t watch a lot of lacrosse but I don’t recall seeing it on the men’s side


Yes, unique to the women's game. They have many

is more in line with the original rules, etc.

The first year of ND WLAX the out of bounds rules were if you threw it out of bounds on a non-shot attempt it was your ball at that end of the field. There were a lot of long erratic passes.


Not a rules expert. Seems like just celebration by the goal

scorer much like running to the engline after a soccer goal. Since after goal they faceoff in the center of the field again it seems appropriate.


Curious because it seems like it every goal. *
