December 6 (1969 and 2025)

After what head coach Harry Keough calls “a little get-together at the half,” St. Louis University scores four times in the second half to defeat San Francisco, 4-0, at San Jose, Calif., for the Billikens’ seventh NCAA soccer championship. Forty-six years later, Washington University’s women wn their second consecutive NCAA Division III championship with a 2-1 victory over Emory. St. Louis U.’s four goals are bookended by penalty kicks converted by future U.S. Soccer Hall of Famer Al Trost 2 minutes into the second half and by Gary Rensing 5 minutes from the final whistle. In between, Jim Leeker and Jim Pisani score from short range. The Bills finished with a 13-0-0 record, the second perfect season in SLU history. In the Division III final, Washington U. overcomes a 1-0 deficit with two goals less than two minutes apart in the second half from Monica Morales-Martinez and Cami Colpitts. The game marks the 500th coaching victory for Jim Conlon, and ran WashU’s record over two seasons to 44-0-5. Their last loss came in the 2023 NCAA Division III final.
