The honest answer to your question John is that a correctly setup and executed lob pass is pretty much impossible to defend as the pass should be received behind the shooter and so their body should be protecting the ball at all times.  your best chance is to have a VERY tall defence player in front and hope she can jump and intercept or at least deflect.

but since most of us coaches are lacking in that type of defence your best chance, is to not let the shooter set up the lob pass in the first place.  get your defence to defend her from behind or side, (prob the same way she has been defending your player) and have her keep the shooter as close to the edge of the circle to make her shoot from range.

Hope that helps :)
