Molino's second season in 2019-20 was cut short due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Coyotes did experience some successes in the fall as Jase West and Luis Soto became KWU's first doubles team in school history to advance to the semifinals of the ITA regional tournament. The Coyotes also brought home a national award, being named as the recipients of the 2020 ITA NAIA Men's Tennis National Community Service Award. The team also had one Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete and two Academic All-KCAC selections.

In Molino's first season in 2019, KWU finished tied for third in the KCAC standings and were the third seed in the KCAC tournament, where the Coyotes hosted rival Bethany in the tournament quarterfinals. Wesleyan would win the match 5-2, marking the first-ever win for the program over Bethany. Mario Rincon was named First Team All-KCAC, Michael Moody was a second-team selection and Felix Diaz was a honorable mention selection. Rincon finished the season ranked No. 13 and Moody was No. 16 in the ITA Central Region rankings. The duo were ranked third as a doubles team in the region and ranked No. 17 nationally as a doubles team, marking the first time that a KWU doubles team has received a national ranking. Moody also earned the ITA's NAIA Most Improved Senior award. 

Molino came to Kansas Wesleyan after serving as the director of junior tennis at Genesis Health Club in Salina. Under his leadership the program has grown from 60 to 80 participants and he has seen three boys win Missouri Valley Section tournament titles and has coached four players ranked in the Section Top 100 rankings.

Molino also served as a coach for the 2019 Boys and Girls 16s in the USTA Missouri Valley Zonals and served as a coach for the 2022 Boys and Girls 14s in the USTA Missouri Valley Zonals.
