Jim
Niederkorn was the men’s golf coach for 18 years, from 1980-81
season through the 1997-98 season. He guided UMSL to back-to-back
MIAA Conference championships in 1992 and 1993, leading UMSL to
the NCAA Division II national tournament each of those years. Niederkorn
coached UMSL’s first golf All-American, fellow inductee David
Rhoads, and also coached two all-district players and six all-conference
golfers. His 18 years as head coach is the second longest tenure
of any head coach, in any sport for UMSL athletics, surpassed only
by previous inductee Don Dallas. |
