Don
Dallas built the UMSL men's soccer program into a perennial national
power after starting the program in 1968, and six years later won
the school's only NCAA National Championship for any sport in 1973.
He had a 236-89-30 career record at UMSL and a 247-93-34 record
overall in college coaching. Dallas coached a total of 15 All-Americans
at UMSL and led the team to the NCAA Tournament 16 times and to
six Final Four appearances. He was named Midwest Region Coach of
the Year three times during his career and in 1987 was named National
Coach of the Year. In 1991, the UMSL soccer field was renamed the
Don Dallas Soccer Field as a tribute to Dallas and in honor of his
accomplishments to the University. |
