The faceoff in lacrosse is the ultimate one-on-one. It's player-versus-player and having a dominant faceoff man can change the course of a game.
A team can turn a contest into a game of make-it-take-it, so it is no surprise the faceoff has become an increasingly more aspect of the game over the years.
