Hall of Fame
Stan Dippel came to the University in 1986 from Southwest High School in St. Louis. As a goalkeeper for the men's soccer team, Dippel recorded five shutouts in his first season, including back-to-back whitewashes, after which he became the first Bulldog soccer player to be named MIAA player of the week. He was named honorable mention all-MIAA at the season's end, thanks to 161 saves, five shutouts and only 16 goals allowed. Dippel was selected co-MVP and rookie of the year for a squad that recorded a 5-8-3 mark, including the first MIAA victory. During Dippel's sophomore campaign the team improved to 10-6-2, and earned a share of the MIAA championship. He made 113 saves, recording six shutouts and allowing a stingy 1.0 goals per game average. Dippel was named first-team all-MIAA and the National Soccer Coaches Association of America selected Dippel to its Division II all-Midwest and all-America teams, making him the first Bulldog soccer player to achieve all-America status. As a junior, the team posted a 9-6-1 record and captured the school's first outright MIAA soccer championship. Dippel made 118 saves, allowing 22 goals in 15 games, with four shutouts. In 1985, Dippel made 68 saves, allowing just 15 goals over 15 games. He was named honorable mention all-MIAA to conclude his career. Dippel owned 15 school records at one time, and is still first by more than 100 in career saves (453), as well as single-season saves (154). Dippel is second on the Bulldog career list of shutouts with 19. He graduated from Truman in 1986 with a bachelor's degree in business and is married to the former Lisa Nolte ('89). They have three children, Brooke who is 9-years-old, Sydney who is seven, and Holden who is 4-years-old. Dippel has worked for Edward Jones & Co., Inc., since 1989.
