Head Coach A.J. Daugherty named Mollie Hanson as the Assistant Coach on Aug. 2, 2022. Hanson will also serve as the Pitching Coach.

Hanson was at Florida Gulf Coast last season as the pitching coach and previously served in the same capacity at Mercer from 2017-2021. Most notably, she helped Mercer to an overall record of 33-19 in 2018.

Hanson was a standout pitcher at Samford who earned Southern Conference Pitcher of the Year honors in 2016 and led the Bulldogs to the Southern Conference Championship. She was the Southern Conference Tournament MVP and an NCAA All-Region selection that season. Hanson is Samford’s career leader in wins (72) and ranks second in career strikeouts (548).

She started her coaching career at Samford as a graduate assistant before heading to Mercer for four seasons.

“Mollie is no stranger to success in the circle. She knows what it takes to compete at an elite level and has extensive knowledge about developing pitchers. Her name is all over the record books from her playing career and she comes highly recommended. We are very grateful that she will be wearing the Green and Gold.”
