Many of Mollot’s favorite memories at Maryland came from the environment within the lacrosse program.
“To this day, some of my strongest friendships are with former teammates. The bonds we created were fostered by our first coach, Coach Edell, it was like a family you're spending all this time with these guys. It's just a ton of hard work you're putting in with them. But it’s [his favorite memories] certainly hands down the relationships I’ve built with the teammates.”
The environment within the Lacrosse program also helped Mollot grow as a person during his five years at the University of Maryland. He cited the resources at the University, along with his teammates and the environment within the program, for most of his maturity while at college. He says the blue-collar work-ethic and perseverance that Maryland Lacrosse taught him still impact him today.
Mollot also enjoyed being a student at Maryland, particularly because of the success that other Maryland Terrapins teams were having. Some of his favorite memories while at Maryland were the 2002 National Championship in men’s basketball and the football team playing in the 2002 Orange Bowl.
Other Maryland athletic achievements weren’t the only highlights of his college career, as he also met his wife Becky, who played for the women’s lacrosse team.
While he says he might not have realized it then, Mollot now recognizes and appreciates what being on a scholarship meant.
“With respect to being on scholarship, candidly, I probably was a little ignorant to it until I graduated from college,” he said. “Then you realize you're able to make life decisions about your future employment without the stress of having to pay back college loans ... And, also being a student-athlete, it’s challenging managing your time between school and sports. So lifting the burden of having to also worry about how am I going to pay for these college loans was invaluable.”
