Defender Alli Klug helped transform Saint Louis women’s soccer from a program coming off seven straight losing seasons into an Atlantic 10 powerhouse and national contender. A two-time All-American and three-time A-10 Defensive Player of the Year, she anchored the Billikens’ rise, including their 2018 breakthrough conference title and NCAA appearance. Klug, who also earned major academic and character honors, was inducted into the Billiken Hall of Fame in 2026.

By the Numbers
  • SLU went 64-13-7 during Klug’s four seasons, including a program-best 18 wins in 2018.
  • The Billikens won three A-10 regular-season titles and two conference tournament championships during her career.
  • Klug played in 86 games, a program record at the time and still fourth among four-year players.
  • She earned two All-America selections, three All-Region first-team honors and three A-10 Defensive Player of the Year awards.
Bottom Line

Klug’s legacy is measured not only in individual honors, but in the winning culture and national-level defense she helped establish at SLU.
