It is important for a team to have a set of goalie equipment on hand because, although a goalie can play in the field, not all the players have the equipment (or desire) to play in the goal. "Honor the game" is the mantra of the sport. Lacrosse at EWG, being a new sport, offers a unique opportunity to our students.
