Career
Lipp spent the 1988 collegiate season with Metro State College. He transferred to Colorado College where he was a 1992 Third Team All American. In April 1993, Lipp turned professional with the Colorado Foxes of the American Soccer League.
He played for the Foxes through the 1996 season, but broke his right leg in a June 1996 game with the Seattle Sounders.
Lipp was also drafted by the Saint Louis Ambush in the 1993 National 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.
He also played for the Colorado Comets of the USISL.
