Meramec Community College successfully defends its NJCAA women’s soccer title by defeating Monroe of Rochester, N.Y., 3-0, in the NJCAA championship game in Trenton, N.J. Meramec’s victory completes a 21-0 season and runs its then-NJCAA-record winning streak to 35. Kim Winterer, Jenni Burton and Tina King score in the championship match. Winterer, who had four goals and two assists in the national tournament, is named the tournament’s offensive most valuable player. Teammate Dana Schmedeke wins the tournament’s defensive MVP award. Schmedeke and Winterer will be selected first-team NJCAA All-Americans. Meramec’s Jeff Karl is NJCAA national women’s soccer coach of the year. Karl will lead Meramec on another long unbeaten streak in 1996-97 that will set the current NJCAA women’s soccer record of 45 consecutive victories. Karl will post a 330-137-38 record in 28 seasons as Meramec’s head coach, second all-time in NJCAA history behind all-time leader and St. Louis native Tim Rooney of Lewis & Clark. Karl will be named to the NJCAA Women’s Soccer Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2017.
