🏆 HALL OF FAME HIGHLIGHT

Former Gamecock goalkeeper Mollie Patton overcame a severe concussion early in her career to achieve numerous accolades, including being named Team MVP and earning the President’s Award. She still ranks No. 1 in program history with 15 shutouts in a single game. Now a Senior Product Manager for Kroger, Patton credits her time at South Carolina for shaping her success and is honored to be inducted into the 2025 Athletics Hall of Fame.
