Goaltender (field lacrosse)

In field lacrosse, the goaltender (goalie, goalkeeper, or the keeper) is the most important and last line of defense between the opposing offense and the goal.The goaltender's primary roles are to defend the opposing team's shots on goal and to direct the defense.Outside the crease, the goaltender has no special protections, and may bring the ball into the offensive zone and even score.Greg Cattrano and Brian Dougherty hold the record as three time Major League Lacrosse Goaltender of the Year Award winners.Cattrano is the only goaltender to have won the Major League Lacrosse MVP Award.
