Some are questioning the safety of women's lacrosse after a New Jersey native nearly died from an injury during a game at Stony Brook. JessicaMooreTV looks into the disparities between men and women and what can be done to keep players safe.
"I've been playing since I was 6, 7," Yale lacrosse player Taylor Everson said."The reason why I loved it was just the competitiveness of it, the team culture of it."
Video from the game on Feb. 25 shows the moment the Yale sophomore says she was cross-checked by a Stony Brook player. Everson was hit across the back. No penalty was issued and no foul was called. "She did have her stick horizontal, and she, her... your stick is not allowed to be being pushed into another kid's body, but we are so desensitized to it that of course it does. Every time a defender plays on us, the sticks are jabbing into our body, so that's where the gray area is coming in," Shearer said."Right, 100 percent," Shearer said.
