Truman State University Athletics

Ross was the second All-American for the Truman Men's Soccer program and earned the award in both 1988 and 1989. He was a three-time first team All-Missouri Intercollegiate Athletics Association member. He broke or tied 12 school records in his career and currently ranks tied for second in goals scored (35), fifth in assists (26), third in points (96) and fifth in shots (198).

Truman won at least 11 games in each of Ross's four seasons with the team under the direction of Head Coach Dave Poggi.  Ross was named the squad's "Rookie of the Year" in 1986 after registering six goals and eight assists for 20 points.  He was the co-most valuable player as a sophomore with defender and Hall of Fame member Bob Atherton in 1987. The Bulldogs peaked at number 10 in Division II during the 1989 season and finished that year with a 13-6-1 overall record. 

Ross was the first Bulldog soccer player to play professionally as he was signed out of a special tryout by the Portland (Ore.) Timbers of the then Western Soccer Outdoor League.
