Alexis Ponce enters her first season as the top assistant coach in 2026.

A four-year letterwinner from 2020-23, Ponce returns to Indianola after helping Simpson to one of the most successful stretches in program history. During her career, the Storm won 45 matches, finished among the top three in the American Rivers Conference each season, advanced to back-to-back conference tournament championship matches and earned the program's first NCAA Tournament berth since 1999 in 2023.

Ponce appeared in 65 career matches, totaling five goals and three assists while logging more than 2000 minutes in the midfield. Two of her five goals proved to be gamewinners during her senior season, coming against Dubuque and Wartburg.

Originally from Las Vegas, Nev., Ponce graduated from Simpson in 2024 with a degree in sports administration. Following graduation, she spent two years at Loras College as an assistant sports information director, serving as the primary contact for men's and women's soccer, baseball, women's wrestling, and men's and women's cross country and track and field.
