18U Gold's giordano commits to Molloy university
Huntington, NY - Brooke Giordano, Team Beast 18U Gold/Sachem North High School (Holbrook, NY) has committed to NCAA Division II Molloy University, where she will play for Head Coach, Dayna Russo and former Team Beast staff member and Associate Head Coach Alex Russo. The Lions compete in the East Coast Conference and is always a contender for the East Region title.
Director of Softball Operations and 18U Gold Head Coach, Jamie Apicella commented on Giordano’s commitment announcement:
"Brooke is the ultimate utility player. She literally can play any position on the field with the exception of pitcher. Brooke has played mostly catcher and OF but has been used at 3B as well. What makes Brooke unique is her speed. She is the fastest kid on team and creates havoc on the base-paths with her uncanny base running instincts. On the offensive side of the ball Brooke leads off for us. She has a tremendous bat to ball % leading team in BABIP. Always on base with ability to barrel balls to all parts of field. Once on base that's where the athlete takes over. Usually on 3B before you blink your eye. Brooke will make an immediate impact at Molloy and the Lions will be getting a true competitor. Since Brooke has arrived at Team Beast, she has always been prepared and willing to do anything asked of her. Has great energy and knows how to deal with the ups and downs of the game. You can never tell if she is doing well or struggling because she has a team first mindset. Brooke is very coachable and willing to learn to improve her game on a daily basis. She adapts to any situation and challenge on the field. Brooke has been fortunate to attend Sachem North HS and play for such an accomplished coach as Coach Ken Sasso. The Arrows have produced some great players over the years and are always vying for a county title. Brooke's preparation between Sachem North and with the staff at Team Beast will set Brooke up for success at the college level. Brooke has become an outstanding leader due to both experiences. On the other-side of her college experience, Brooke has aspirations to become a Nurse. Molloy University is one of the strongest Nursing schools in the area ranked amongst the very best. Brooke will thrive in Molloy's environment, and we are excited to see her reach her goals as a student-athlete. Congratulations to Brooke and her family on this outstanding accomplishment. We are so proud and happy for you and know you have a bright future ahead of you. We are excited to follow your career at Molloy University."
18U Gold will resume team activities in early January 2026 with winter training.
