Evan Cardoza is the head coach of the Penn State Altoona men's soccer team, taking over the reins of the program in summer 2025.

Cardoza was a four-year member of the Penn State Altoona men's soccer program from 2017-21. He graduated from Penn State Altoona with a degree in Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology in 2021 and continued his ties with the Lions' soccer program in the following years, serving as an assistant coach for the team.

"I am very excited to be taking over as head coach," said Cardoza upon his hiring in 2025. "I would like to thank our Director of Athletics, Brent Baird, and the rest of the department for their belief in me. Having coached as an assistant at PSUA for the previous four seasons, I am confident I can continue leading this team and pushing our program to its fullest potential."
