Domenic Mediate

American soccer player

Domenic Mediate (born June 1, 1982 in Sheridan, Wyoming) is an American former professional soccer player who played for D. C. United in Major League Soccer and Puerto Rico Islanders of the USL First Division.

Mediate 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, he 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. 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) 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. He was waived by United during the 2007 pre season, but on June 28, 2007, D. C. United had announced that Mediate had re signed with the club.

The son of Stan and Chris Mediate, Domenic has four siblings: sister Angela, and brothers Carmine, Rocco, and Vincent. Carmine is a golfer for Baylor University and Vincent is an ODP soccer player for Dallas Solar Red. The siblings are distant cousins of PGA Tour professional golfer Rocco Mediate. In high school, Domenic was a National Honor Society student, and received US Achievement Academy national awards in 1996, 1997 and 1998. He is an occasional participant in NYC's weekly Bayards kickabout group.
