Todd Rima has been named the new head baseball coach at Kirkwood Community College.

Rima replaces Tim Evans, who was fired last week.

Rima has been the head coach at North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) in Mason City. He played at the University of Northern Iowa and was a two-year captain.

Evans compiled a 21-33 record in 2012 during his only year as head coach. He succeeded John Lewis, who retired after the 2011 season.

Travis Hergert, who played college ball at Kirkwood and Mount Mercy, succeeds Rima at NIACC. Hergert has been Rima's assistant for eight years with the Trojans.
