Domenic Mediate (born June 1, 1982) is an American soccer player, who currently plays midfielder for D.C. United in Major League Soccer.
He was Columbus Crew's second pick (23rd overall) in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft. After a year with the Crew, appearing in 11 games (four starts) with one goal and an assist, Mediate was traded to D.C. United on March 14, 2006 for a 2007 draft pick. Mediate made seven starts for the D.C. reserves in 2006, scoring a goal and logging two assists.[1] He had worked his way into United's first team, appearing in eight games with two starts (despite having to miss time due to a concussion)[2] when his right leg (distal fibula) was broken in a game against Los Angeles Galaxy on August 8, 2006. The injury required surgery and ended Mediate's season.[3]
Mediate played college soccer for the University of Maryland, making 3 consecutive College Cup appearances. He ended his college career with 27 goals and 17 assists and was named to the All-ACC first team in 2004.[4] Mediate made the Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Honor Roll in 2002[5] and 2003[6] and was a four-time Academic All-District Men's Soccer Team selection[7] [8] [9]
The son of Stan and Chris Mediate, Dominic has four siblings: sister Angela (22), and brothers Carmine (born August 12, 1986 (age 20)), Rocco (15) and Vincent (born May 20, 1992 (age 14)). Carmine is a golfer for Baylor University[10] and Vincent is an ODP soccer player for Dallas Solar Red.[11] The siblings are distant cousins of PGA Tour professional golfer Rocco Mediate.[10] In high school, Dominic was a National Honor Society student, and received [US Achievement Academy] national awards in 1996, 1997 and 1998.[4]
