Des Moines Area Head Coach Bob Ligouri on Jacobsen
“Molly Jacobsen’s stats speak for themselves. She was a dominating pitcher for DMACC for both years. As a sophomore, she shut down some of the best teams in the country. But more importantly, Molly Jacobsen was a great teammate, team leader, and a leader on our campus. While she earned great success as a pitcher, she never let the attention take away from her team and teammates. She is a very humble young woman and a winner in every sense of the word.”
