Lacrosse Question?--very off topic

[fonzzy07]

From what I understand and again I may be wrong but it has to do with contact. In mens contact is greatly encouraged infact it is a very physical game. The womens game is much much less physical, it might be that you can only use your stick to hit another stick. I am guessing this is where the diffrence in equiptment comes from. hope this helps and anyone feel free to correct me.
