Dorsey, Mark 2020

As a member of the 1973 NCAA Division II National Champion University of Missouri-St. Louis Team, Mark Dorsey was known as a never backing down player and nothing was going to stop him to complete his goal.  Drafted by the St. Louis Stars, who were still attempting to make it in the NASL with local talent, Mark spent time with the St. Louis Stripes, before moving up to the Stars.  Mark decided not to follow the St. Louis Stars to California and pursued a job in the media and broadcast business.  In 1977 he moved back to the Amateur ranks and became a member of the Koeller-Drayage Soccer Team.  Playing for this team for another 12 years, Mark and his teammates won three CYC Senior Closed Championships and two Over 30 Championships.  Mark’s passion for the game turned to coaching and was one of the original coaches for the Scott-Gallagher Soccer Club.  For over 30 years, Mark predominately coached the U-19, U-20’s and Academy teams.  Their results ended with fourteen State Championships and three Regional Champions in 1996, 1997 and 2016.
