Youth edit
Lipp was a 1987 NSCAA High School All American soccer player and a 1988 Gatorade Player of the Year at Rocky Mountain High School.[1][2][3] Lipp spent the 1988 collegiate season with Metro State College.[4] He transferred to Colorado College where he was a 1992 Third Team All American.[5]
Professional edit
In April 1993, Lipp turned professional with the Colorado Foxes of the American Professional Soccer League.[6][7] He played for the Foxes through the 1996 season, but broke his right leg in a June 1996 game with the Seattle Sounders.[8] Lipp was also drafted by the St. Louis Ambush in the 1993 National Professional Soccer League draft. The Ambush traded his rights to the Wichita Wings, but a hamstring injury suffered during the Foxes season led to the Wings not signing Lipp.[9]
He also played for the Colorado Comets of the USISL.
