Marsh Lea compiled a spectacular record as an amateur golfer before a brief stint on the women's professional tour. The USGA reinstated Lea's amateur status in 1988. She won the Carolinas Junior Girls Championship three times and captured the Women's North and South Amateur at Pinehurst in 1988. The six-time N.C. Women's Golf Association champ was hired as the Pack's first women's golf coach last fall.
Molodet spent three years amazing NC State fans with his basketball wizardry. A teammate of NC Hall of Fame member Ronnie Shavlik, Molodet led the Wolfpack to three straight ACC basketball championships, including the inaugural tournament in 1954. He earned All-ACC honors in 1955 and 1956 and played on teams that posted a record of 80-15. Molodet averaged 15 points during his college career. The Asheville resident had his #73 jersey retired by NC State two years ago.
This year's other inductees are former UNC basketball star Brad Daugherty, Chowan coaching legend Jim Garrison, former major league pitcher Max Lanier and ex Wake Forest baseball coach Jack Stallings.
The N.C. Sports Hall of Fame, with 201 members, was established in 1963 and is housed in the NC Museum of History in Raleigh. The Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and on Sunday from noon until 5:00 p.m. Admission to the museum is free.
