1999 BILLIKENS WIN CONFERENCE USA REGULAR-SEASON TITLE
 
Prior to the 1999 season, Saint Louis women's soccer experienced a moderate degree of success in the program's first three campaigns. The Billikens debuted in 1996 with a 12-6-2 overall record and a 6-3-0 Conference USA ledger. SLU posted records of 11-5-3 overall and 4-4-1 in league play the following year before dipping below .500 in 1998.
 
The Billikens' attempt to recover from the disappointment of 1998 was aided by the move from the Anheuser-Busch Conference and Sports Centre, where Saint Louis played its home games from 1996-98, to the on-campus, newly renovated Billiken Sports Center, later to become known as Robert R. Hermann Stadium. The Bills opened the season by defeating Iowa on their new home field, a win that was part of a 4-1-1 record they carried into league action.
 
Saint Louis began C-USA play modestly, going 1-1-1 in its first three outings. On the back end of a two-game road trip, however, the Billikens blanked Louisville to begin a 10-game unbeaten streak (9-0-1).
 
The streak included a 7-0-1 mark against conference foes, giving the Bills a final C-USA record of 8-1-2 – one point ahead of Charlotte, Houston and Marquette for first place. The regular-season league title was the first in program history and the University's first outright Conference USA crown in any sport.
 
Despite suffering a season-ending upset loss in the C-USA tournament first round, Saint Louis had made its mark. In addition to capturing the regular-season league championship, the Billikens tallied what was then a school-record 14 wins (14-3-3) and established then-school marks for fewest losses, fewest home losses (one), fewest road losses (one) and fewest shots allowed (141). SLU outscored its opponents 43-14.
 
Goalkeeper Meghann Burke registered all 14 wins to go with SLU freshman season marks of 10 shutouts and 79 saves. Trisha Underberg set then-SLU season standards for goals (11) and points (26) by a senior.
 
Burke earned a spot on the Freshman All-America second team and All-Region second team as selected by Soccer Buzz. She also was named C-USA Freshman of the Year and was voted to the All-Conference second team.
 
Underberg and Kelly Young were named to the NSCAA All-Region and C-USA All-Conference first teams. Kathleen Schager (second team), Holly Houston (third team), Mandy Trokey (third team, All-Freshman) and Jenny Kehl (All-Freshman) also collected All-Conference accolades.
 
The 1999 Billikens were inducted into the Billiken Hall of Fame in 2007.
