Capital University Athletics Hall of Fame
Molly Mosholder (nee Sheils), a 2010 Capital graduate and native of Centerville, Ohio, hauled in accolades while with the Purple and White, and became one of the most decorated Capital women's soccer players to come through the program. As a freshman, Sheils was named third team All-Region and All-Ohio, and first team All-OAC. One year later, she upped the ante, being named All-OAC first team, Academic All-OAC, and All-Ohio Academic first team. In 2008, she took another step forward earning All-OAC first team, Academic All-OAC, All-Ohio second team, NSCAA All-Region Scholar third team, and All-Region second team.Â
Once more, Sheils out-performed her previous year as a senior, being named an NSCAA All-American third team selection as well as an NSCAA Scholar All-American second team honoree. Aside from the national honors, Molly also earned All-Region first team, CoSIDA Academic All-District, the OAC Midfielder of the Year award, All-OAC first team, Academic All-OAC, and All-Ohio first team during her final season with the Purple and White. Additionally, in the spring of 2010, Sheils was selected as Capital's female recipient of the prestigious OAC Clyde Lamb Award – an honor given to a male and female senior student-athlete who holds a minimum 3.00 GPA and exhibits sportsmanlike conduct in a manner that brought credit to his or her institution.Â
Now living in Columbus, Molly is married to her husband of five years Daniel. The couple has a daughter named Emerson and is expecting their second child in February of 2023. They also have a furbaby – a one-year old goldendoodle named Quinn. She currently works as the Assistant Director of Accessibility Services at Columbus State Community College. She has worked at CSCC for nine years after she completed a Masters Degree and Graduate Assistantship at Clemson University in their student disability services office. Mosholder credits her time at Capital as helping to instill the values of commitment, team work, and perseverance – all which have helped shape her into the person she is today. She says she is forever grateful for her time at Capital and the friendships and connections formed along the way.Â
