UMSL Sports Hall of Fame
COACH (Men's Golf)
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.
