Molly begins her first year as Head Coach of the Raiders softball team after an assistant role in 2020.

McKinney grew up in West Michigan and attended Byron Center High School where she played varsity softball for four years. During her senior year, her team played in the Division 2 state finals and were runner's up.  

She started playing travel ball when she was 10 years old and continued until she was 23. She was fortunate enough to receive a Division 1 scholarship to the University of Maine where she was a four year starter, playing mostly outfield, but did contribute on the infield and pitching when needed. All four years, she batted in the cleanup position. During her junior year, her team won their conference tournament which won them a bid to regionals. It was only the second time in the history of the program. During her senior year, they won the America East conference.
