MacArthur Lacrosse Player Sets New School Record

MacArthur High School lacrosse player Erin Vaughan Ware now holds the record for highest scorer assist in points and goals for the Generals, having scored 257 points, 157 goals and 100 assists during her tenure on the varsity team. For a third time, Newsday has also named the three-time Long Island All-American one of Long Island’s Top 100 players.

When questioned about her prescription for success, Ware said, “I am very self-motivated and not afraid to fail.”

Ware started her lacrosse career during second grade as a member of the Lady Tomahawks, a town team. She said she started playing with the stick in her right hand, but soon learned she was a leftie. “My first shot was a total failure,” she said.

She keeps fit in the off-season as a sprinter on the winter track team. Ware also played basketball with the Amateur Athletic Union through her junior year.

During her sophomore year, Ware signed a national letter of intent to continue her sport at Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, where she will pursue her studies in communications and public relations.
