18U GOLD’S VOMERO COMMITS TO STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY 

Huntington, NY – Laney Vomero, (2026 – Miller Place, NY) has committed to Stony Brook University (Stony Brook, NY). Vomero (SS/2B) was awarded All-County, All-Long Island and All-State honors in 2024. She helped lead Miller Place High School to the Suffolk Class A and Long Island Class A Championships, and an appearance in the state championship.

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.”

Team Beast 18U Gold continues the fall season at the Jersey Outlaws Fall Showcase, October 5-6 in Jackson, NJ.
