CWRU Athletics

Molly O'Brien helped usher in an era of success for the softball team at Case Western Reserve University. She earned All-University Athletic Association and All-Region First Team honors each year from 2013 through 2015, while also claiming All-UAA Tournament honors each year of her career. A leadoff hitter who played second base, she finished her time as a Spartan as the program's record holder in batting average (.389), runs scored (167), hits (218), triples (13), total bases (325), and stolen bases (65), while setting single-season program records for runs scored (52, 2015), hits (64, 2015), total bases (115, 2015), and stolen bases (22, 2013). She had a batting average above .400 twice in her career (.438 in 2015 and .405 in 2013). She started every game during her career and helped the team set a program record for wins with 32 during her senior campaign. She was also honored with the CWRU's Glenn and Peggy Nicholls Female Athlete of the Year Award in 2015.
