Taking over a rising women's soccer program for the 2008 season will be Diego Cevallos.  Cevallos was named the Judson women's soccer interim head coach on April 10, 2008, when head coach Freddie King resigned. 

Cevallos inherits a program that is on the rise as Judson won their first-ever CCAC Tournament Championship in the 2007 season under Freddie King.  Cevallos replaces Judson's all-time winningest women's soccer coach Freddie King who won 47 games in five seasons. 

No stranger to Judson, Cevallos has been a part of Judson soccer for nine years as a player and coach.  He will also be helping men's soccer coaching legend Steve Burke for the fifth season as an assistant men's coach.  Cevallos was a key part in Judson's success the past four seasons in men's soccer as they won four straight CCAC regular season, tournament and NAIA Region VII Championships.  That class produced 74 wins and hand an undefeated regular season in 2004 with their only loss in the second round of the NAIA National Tournament to the eventual national champion.

Before becoming a coach at Judson, he distinguished himself as a soccer player playing for the Eagles from 2001-2004 where he contributed immensely to the program and helped the team claim its fifth NCCAA National Title in 2002. He graduated from Judson with a bachelor's degree in Pre-Med in 2004.

Cevallos learned the game in Costa Rica, his home country, where soccer is a passion of the people and where it is very prestigious to be an accomplished player. He, then, moved to the United States and played high school soccer in Rockford earning a wide variety of awards.

For several years now, Cevallos has been involved in the local youth soccer scene and he has become a Premier US Youth Soccer Coach who is highly sought out as a trainer for both individuals and club teams. He is currently part of the coaching staffat Crystal Lake Force for the Elite program.
