Yetman went 6-0 in the post-season pitching 47 innings and compiling a 0.89 ERA. She recorded her second win over SIUE this year with last Friday's win in the NCAA tournament. She also beat Lock Haven's Kristin Erb earlier in the year.

Yetman's final stats were a 28-5 record, with a 0.79 ERA. She had 10 shutouts plus three combined shutouts, while pitching 203.2 innings. She allowed 103 hits, 39 runs, 23 earned runs, 65 walks and held opponent batters to a .147 average in 699 at bats. Yetman also recorded 265 strikeouts and became a First Team NFCA All-Great Lakes Region selection for the second straight year. She was voted the GLIAC Pitcher of the Year in 2008.

Molly was selected NFCA National Player of the Week on March 12 and twice earned GLIAC Pitcher of the Week honors in 2008. She came within an error of a perfect game vs. Ashland.

She had 12 games with at least 10 strikeouts and another five games in which she had nine strikeouts.
