AMES, Iowa – ISU head soccer coach Matt Fannon has announced one final addition to the 2024 soccer team in Seulgi Lee.

Lee, a 5-8 senior midfielder, arrives in Ames after a pair of stops across her four-year college career. She began collegiate play at Barton Community College before spending a pair of years with Michigan Tech.

At Barton CC, Lee became the school’s first two-time NJCAA All-America recipient and was named as her region’s MVP in 2021. At Michigan Tech, Lee played in just one game her junior year due to injury before coming back strong as a senior. Following a medical redshirt, Lee was named to the United Soccer Coaches All-Midwest Region Second Team in 2023 and also earned First Team All-Conference honors as she helped Michigan Tech make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2014.

“It’s unusual to bring someone in so late in the process but we’ve been keeping an eye out for last minute midfielders to provide cover in that area specifically,” says coach Fannon. “When Lee became available, I was able to speak with her and very quickly realized she is exactly the person and player that will be able to seamlessly slip into our team with minimal fuss. We expect big things from her, as she is a talented player.”

A native of Seoul, South Korea, Lee owns six career goals from her time at Michigan Tech.

Lee joins a four-member transfer class, and will integrate in with fellow transfers Morgan Furmaniak, Adelaide Wolfe, Yira Yoggerst and Ella Zimmerman for the 2024 season.

The Cyclones are set to kick off the 2024 season this Wednesday, August 7, with an exhibition contest against Minnesota at the Cyclone Sports Complex at 6 p.m. The season officially begins next week on August 15 against Western Illinois at 6 p.m. As a reminder, admission to the Cyclone Sports Complex is free.
