A native of Noblesville, Indiana, Krissy Meek-Engelbrecht is the initial women’s soccer player and the first Evansville student-athlete inducted into the Missouri Valley Conference Hall of Fame.
The leading vote-getter on the MVC Women’s Soccer All-Centennial Team announced in 2006, she is the only three-time MVC Player of the Year in league soccer history (men’s or women’s).
She continues to rank second in MVC career goals (45) and total points (106). Englebrecht powered UE to NCAA Tournaments in 1998 and 1999. She led the Aces to MVC regular-season titles in 1997, 1998 and 1999 and MVC Tournament Crowns in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999.

Engelbrecht -- the 2010 Great Lakes Valley Conference Coach of the Year -- had the Eagles rolling in 2010 as the squad tied for third in the GLVC with a 10-3-1 mark and hosted a conference tournament game for the first time since 2000. USI also had a 12-6-1 overall record and was ranked in the NSCAA Midwest Rankings.
Engelbrecht came to USI from the University of Evansville where she was an assistant coach. Under former Evansville head coach Mick Lyon, she helped direct the Aces to the Missouri Valley Conference Championship in 2001.
