Best Answer

Men's Lacrosse is more physical than girl's making it easier to knock the ball out. So the deeper pocket allows for more control and evens out the playing field. There is a rule on how deep the pocket can be. The top of the ball cannot be seen under the sidewall of the stick. Goalies have no limit to how deep their pockets can be.
