Director of Softball Operations and 18U Gold Head Coach, Jamie Apicella commented on Vomero’s commitment announcement:


“Laney was a highly recruited athlete for us. Well deserved because it would be very difficult to find an athlete more committed to the complete game. She works tirelessly in the weight room, she works tirelessly trying to perfect her skills both offensively and defensively. This high level 5 tool athlete is staying home and playing for legendary Coach Megan Bryant. She will be able to compete in a very competitive environment in the Coastal Athletic Association. Laney will also be pursuing her bachelor’s degree at one of the most prestigious research institutions in the country. On many occasions Laney has made jaw dropping plays at short stop. ESPN worthy type plays that you just cannot believe how. Her quick release, strong arm, range and overall athletic ability fits Stony Brook’s infield pedigree. On the offensive side she is just a dynamic player. Laney can beat you with her speed, go gap to gap and drive balls out of parks. She barrels up balls on a consistent basis and will also leave the park in a big way. Usually bats up top in the lineup and provides lineup with an energy boost. Great table setter. Laney’s academic achievements in high school is parallel to her athletic achievements. Outstanding!! Laney has interests in varying courses of study and will decide her route as she inches closer to Fall of 2025. Congratulations to Laney 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 Stony Brook University.”

Alyssa brought to Team Beast great energy and the willingness to do anything asked of her. She is a second baseman by trade, but because she had some experience behind the plate, at Islip High School, she has helped out with depth at the catching position. A true-blue collar player with a team first attitude. Initially, Alyssa was rostered on our 16U Gold team but was quickly elevated to our 18U Gold roster. She's a very adaptable player that is always in fast twitch mode. Never gets cheated at the plate and is always in her feet. Great energy to be around and has the ability to lift the spirits of her teammates all the time. Enjoys playing the game and is always ready to compete. Versatile athlete that offers a lot to a college lineup. Contact hitter that is always on base. Very aggressive player on the defensive side of the ball as well. Has a high IQ and is a leader on her teams, demonstrating that her team comes before oneself. Between playing for Islip High School, arguably one of the most competitive high schools on Long Island in the sport of softball, and Team Beast 18U Gold, Alyssa will be ready to compete and make an immediate impact at Purchase College. Her development, love and passion for the game was guided by her former Head Coach at Islip High School, the late and legendary Dennis McSweeney. We know he would be very proud of Alyssa and her accomplishments. Alyssa is also an excellent student and is going to pursue a degree in Criminal Justice or Business at Purchase College, with her career goal working in law enforcement. Congratulations to Alyssa 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 Purchase College!! " Team Beast 18U Gold completed the fall season at the TNT Last Look Fall Showcase Classic last month.

Director of Softball Operations and 18U Gold Head Coach, Jamie Apicella commented on Aschettino’s commitment announcement: "Taylor came to us just about a year ago looking for a change of scenery and new challenge. Surrounded by some of the best talent on Long Island, Taylor hit the ground running. She was like a sponge learning from her coaches and learning from her peers. Eager to take her game to the next level, she was all in and committed to fitting in right away. Taylor is her hardest critic. Always chasing perfection and wanting to do her best. That trait has fit right in with her peers at Beast and her players gained a respect for her almost immediately as well as the coaching staff. Taylor's is an infielder for our Gold Team. Mostly a second baseman but has also played a little third base. Taylor takes great angles at second base, has a strong throwing arm and excellent range and athleticism. Footwork and glove work continue to improve and is one of our players that's not afraid to leave her feet to keep the ball in the infield. In regard to her offense, this area has improved immensely since arriving to Beast. Taylor has committed to working on her swing and continues to gain more confidence. Had a strong HS season at the plate followed by a very productive summer season with some big hits in pressure situations. Arguably our most improved player over last year's seasons. We are excited to see what the upcoming months bring. Taylor is also an excellent student and is going to pursue a degree in Health Sciences at West Conn. She would eventually like to be a practicing Sonogram Technician.C ongratulations to Taylor 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 Western Connecticut State University. Go Wolves!!"
