Molly Fiedler is in her second season as an assistant coach for the St. Olaf women's soccer program in 2022-23 after joining head coach Becky Maines' staff on July 21, 2022.

In her first season at St. Olaf, Fiedler was part of a coaching staff that led the Oles to a 10-7-1 (.583) overall record and a 7-3-1 (.682) mark in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) in 2022. The 10 wins matched the program's most since 2010 and the seven MIAC victories were tied for the most in program history. St. Olaf claimed its first-ever victory in the MIAC Playoffs with a quarterfinal win over Saint Mary's.

In 2022, St. Olaf had 10 Academic All-MIAC honorees, one United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-Region honoree, one United Soccer Coaches All-Region selection, three College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District honorees, three All-MIAC selections (including the league's co-Rookie of the Year), and one Honorable Mention All-MIAC selection.

A former two-time All-Big Ten honoree at the University of Minnesota who also played professionally for ZFK Spartak in Serbia’s top division, Fiedler reunites with Maines, who was an assistant coach for the Golden Gophers during Fiedler’s senior season of 2018. In addition to her standout playing career, Fiedler has coaching experience as a head coach for Salvo Soccer Club in Woodbury and Hudson Soccer Association.

During her career as a Golden Gopher, Fiedler started all 87 of the games she played in from 2015-18, recording four goals and 26 assists, with the latter ranking tied for fourth in program history. The run of 87-straight starts is the second-longest run of consecutive starts in program history.

Fiedler was a Third Team All-Big Ten selection as a senior, a Second Team All-Big Ten honoree as a junior, and a Big Ten Freshman Team selection as a rookie. She helped lead Minnesota to one Big Ten regular-season championship, two Big Ten Tournament titles, and three NCAA Tournament appearances during her four-year career.

A three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree and two-time Big Ten Distinguished Scholar-Athlete, Fiedler graduated from the University of Minnesota’s College of Education and Human Development in 2019 with a bachelor of science degree as a family and social science major with a minor in youth studies. She went on to play professionally for ZFK Spartak in Serbia’s top division, starting all 33 of her appearances over the 2019 and 2021 seasons, including making seven starts in the European Women’s Champions League in Slovenia, the Netherlands, and Spain.

Fiedler has served as a head coach for the U12 boys team while assisting with U16 and U17 girls academy teams at Salvo Soccer Club this spring and summer. Prior to that, she coached girls ages 10-14 for Hudson Soccer Association in Hudson, Wis. from August 2020 to February 2021.
