Carthage College men's soccer coach
Steve Domin has had his share of brothers on his Red Men teams over the years. Sixteen families have had two or more sons who have played soccer for Domin.
"We've been fortunate with a run of family siblings who have attended Carthage and played soccer," says Domin. "Ironically, we view the program as a family, and those values mean as much to us as ability. It's humbling that so many parents entrust me and other Carthage coaches with their sons or daughters. Looking back on all the brothers, a few other things come to mind. One, most of the brothers played together on the same team. Three sets of brothers, the Ahonens, the Goldsberrys and the Gomez brothers were part of our 2007 CCIW-championship team. All of that is making me feel a touch old."
