Missouri S&T Athletics

The 1980 Miners had one of the greatest years in school and conference history, as they became the only the second team ever at MSM/UMR to finish with an undefeated season.  In their 10-0 campaign, the Miners had one of the top defensive teams in NCAA Division II with the top-ranked rushing defense (34.6 yards allowed per game) and gave up just 123 points on the season.  This team was ranked 10^th in the final national rankings and for a span of 18 years was the last MIAA team to complete a season with a perfect record.
