Also, the definition of a "goal" used to include the phrase "loose ball". As in, a goal is scored when a loose ball completely crosses over the goal line. (I don't know if that definition has changed recently. I haven't reffed lax in about 4 years.)
If the ball is still in the crosse, then it's not loose, so it can't be a goal. This ensures that a goalie can't score on his own goal by accidentally putting the ball across the goal line when he brings the ball back to pass it out of the crease.
