Steve Domin joined the UW-Whitewater men's soccer coaching staff prior to the 2024 campaign.
Domin comes to the Warhawks after a 27-year career at Carthage College. While at Carthage, he served as the Director of Soccer Operations, the head men's and women's soccer coach and was an instructor during his tenure.
Coach Domin holds a combined 416-254-51overall collegiate record. Under his direction, Carthage has produced more than 100 All-CCIW performers, 78 All-State of Wisconsin Collegiate performers, 32 All-Region players, three NCAA All-Americans, multiple Conference Championships and several CCIW Player and Coach of the Year Honors. In 2011, 2015, 2016, and in the Spring of 2021, Coach Domin was named the State’s Collegiate Coach of the Year. His Carthage teams had been ranked in the top 10 by the United Soccer Coaches (formerly the NSCAA) Regional & National Committee on several occasions (1996, 1997, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020, and 2021), and have competed in the NCAA National Championships. In 2014, Coach Domin and the men’s soccer team eclipsed the 200 win plateau defeating perennial power Wheaton College (the NCAA National Runner-up and NCAA National Champions the seasons prior), and is one of a handful of coaches to have surpassed 400 NCAA wins combined.
Domin was named CCIW/Joe Bean “Men’s Soccer Coach of the Year” in 1996, 2007, 2011, 2016, and in 2018 (eclipsing the award’s namesake). His 2001, 2007, 2011, and 2016 teams won CCIW titles, the 2008, 2011, 2015, 2016 and 2018 teams won CCIW Tournament titles, and all qualified for the NCAA Division III Men’s Soccer Championships. During Domin’s tenure, Carthage had qualified 15 times out of the last 18 years for the CCIW Men’s Soccer Tournament (since the 4- team inception format), including 10 in a row from 2002 to 2013 -- a CCIW record.
Domin is a native of Naperville, Ill., where he attended Naperville North High School and was named
Daily Herald all-state in baseball, and played varsity soccer for legendary coach Dave Bucher. He graduated from Carthage in 1993 with a bachelor's degree in both exercise and sport science and business administration. He received his master’s in education with a specialization in guidance and counseling, also from Carthage, in 1995.
