Kirk Ferentz Statement on Cody Ince Passing

Sports

Kirk Ferentz Statement on Cody Ince 

“I am incredibly sad to hear about Cody Ince’s sudden passing. Cody was a tremendous young man, valued teammate, and contributor to our program. He loved football, fishing and hunting, and believed in the importance of family and friendships. Cody was just beginning this next chapter of his life and was about to be married. Mary and I are heartbroken for his fiancée, his family and all his friends who knew and loved him. All of us in the football program – his coaches and teammates – are mourning his loss.” 

Ince competed in 29 games as an offensive lineman for the Hawkeyes. He played in 10 games, including four starts, as a junior in 2021. Ince was an honorable mention all-conference honoree by league coaches and media after playing in eight games, including starting the final six contests, as a sophomore. The Wisconsin native saw action in 11 games as a redshirt freshman. Ince was an Academic All-Big Ten honoree and earned spring semester Dean’s List recognition in 2021.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, July 23, from 2-4 p.m., followed by a Celebration of Life at BrowTine Event Center (1361 100th St.) in Amery, Wisconsin.

Iowa State Head Soccer Coach Matt Fannon announces staff update

Sports

July 17th, 2023 by Asa Lucas

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head soccer coach Matt Fannon has announced the addition of Olivia Seddon as the new Soccer Development Coordinator and Jermima Job as the program’s new Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach.

Seddon comes to Ames after spending one year as the Volunteer Assistant Coach with the Kansas State Wildcats, while Job spent the past two seasons as a Sports Performance Graduate Assistant with SEMO.

For the Cyclones, Seddon will cover individual student-athlete development plans and statistical analysis while also helping out with film and recruiting. At Kansas State, Seddon was responsible for both video analysis/scouting and on-field instruction.

“She is passionate and really eager to learn and grow,” says Fannon. “She also brings an infectious personality that will connect with our women immediately and give her the opportunity to affect their development right away. Her experience working in the Big 12 will give us a boost and give her the platform to become really successful here.”

Before she arrived in Manhattan, Seddon was a five-year letter winner on the Northern Colorado soccer team. A midfielder from Chino Hills, California, Seddon was a 2021 United Soccer Coaches All-Region Third Team selection and a 2021 All-Big Sky First Team honoree. In 2020, Seddon collected All-Big Sky Second Team honors and was a 2019 All-Big Sky Second Team honoree.

During her time in Greeley, Seddon received her bachelor’s degree in sports and exercise science with an emphasis in sports coaching in 2020 and completed her graduate degree with a Master of Arts in sports coaching in 2022. For her work in the classroom, Seddon is a two-time United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-West Region selection and a three-time Academic All-Big Sky honoree.

At Iowa State, Job will handle strength and conditioning training responsibilities with both the soccer and tennis programs for the 2023-24 calendar season.

“We are excited to add Jermima to the Olympic Strength and Conditioning staff to plan, design, and implement the training plans for our soccer and tennis programs, says Director of Olympic Sports Strength & Conditioning Tim Dombroski. “Jermima comes with a wealth of knowledge both as a soccer player and a graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach at Southeast Missouri State University. She received high recommendations from members of the SEMO athletic department on her ability to relate to the needs of the individual by creating a positive training environment and building relationships with the student-athletes.”

Job is a former collegiate midfielder, having competed in her final two seasons at SEMO. Job’s collegiate playing career began at Owens Community College in Perrysburg, Ohio. In her rookie campaign, Job netted 18 goals with five assists as she tallied a trio of hat tricks.

After a breakout freshman year, Job took her talents to Darton State, where she helped guide the school to a 16-2 regular season record and a berth in the NJCAA national tournament. Job scored 14 goals in her sophomore season. After a year at Darton, Job found a home with the Redhawks in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

After graduating from SEMO in 2020, Job had internships with both Lindenwood and SIUE before arriving back at SEMO to complete her graduate assistantship.

“Jermima is a really exciting young coach who is already making her mark with our team,” says Coach Fannon. “To have a soccer-specific strength & conditioning coach is a real luxury, and her intimate knowledge of what it takes to perform on the field will be a huge benefit to our women.”

The Iowa State soccer program will kick off regular season action in a month, with opening day arriving on August 17 in a matchup with Arizona. The 2023 regular season opener will be at the Cyclones Soccer Complex and is set to begin at 6 p.m. Admission to the Cyclone Soccer Complex is free.
