A native of Castorland, N.Y., Mollie Lehman played softball at Binghamton from 1996-2000. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 2000 and went on to earn her MBA from University of Colorado Denver in 2007.
A two-time All-Region infielder and outfielder, Lehman led the softball program to the postseason all four years, including two NCAA Division III tournaments and an ECAC Division II title. Binghamton won 108 games during her tenure and was especially dominant at home, posting a 42-8 record at the East Gym Complex.
As a freshman, Lehman led the then-Colonials to a 30-win season that culminated in a state championship, NCAA East Region runnerup honors and a final ranking of 11th in the country. She batted .420 with 31 RBI - both team highs. Individual honors included All-SUNYAC, All-State, All-Region and all-tournament honors at the NCAA Regional.
In 1998, Lehman led BU back to the NCAAs for the fourth straight year. She played shortstop and hit a team-best .397 with an on-base percentage of .486. Lehman repeated as an All-Region selection and earned NCAA All-Tournament selection after helping the Colonials reach the finals of the NCAA East Regional and gain a No. 11 national ranking.
Binghamton elevated to NCAA Division II status in 1999 and rolled through a 16-2 first-place record in the New England Collegiate Conference, narrowly missing another NCAA berth. Lehman compiled 34 hits and 17 RBI and went 8-for-8 in stolen bases that spring.
As a senior, Lehman anchored the team from center field and hit .376 with 12 stolen bases. Binghamton went 21-12-1 and captured the ECAC Mid-Atlantic Championship.
She set six school records during her career: career batting average (.379), runs scored (111) and hits (170) and also season runs (40), hits (55) and triples (5). She also was an active member of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee and was named the John Bilos Award recipient in 2000, demonstrating outstanding career performance in athletics.
