Peter Vagenas (born Panayiotis Alexiou Vagenas on February 6, 1978 in Pasadena, California), is an American soccer central-midfielder, who currently plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer.

High School/College

Vagenas graduated from Saint Francis High School in La Cañada Flintridge, class of 1996, and played college soccer at UCLA from 1996 to 1999, leading them to the NCAA title in 1997, finishing his career there with 15 goals and 30 assists in 82 games. He was elected team M.V.P. during his campaign at UCLA.

Los Angeles Galaxy

Vagenas was drafted by the Galaxy in the second round of the 2000 MLS SuperDraft. Peter has been with the Galaxy since, winning the US Open Cup in 2001 and 2005 and the MLS Cup in 2002 and 2005, captaining the team to the 2005 double. Unfortunately for Vagenas, he has missed the most part of the last couple seasons due to injury. In eight years in MLS, he scored 11 goals and 12 assists, plus added two goals and two assists in the playoffs. Vagenas has played a pivotal role in midfield for the LA Galaxy.

National and Olympic teams

Vagenas played for the United States in the 2000 Summer Olympics, scoring three goals, all on penalty kicks. He earned his first cap for the senior national team on October 25, 2000 against Mexico, but injuries have curtailed his appearances at the international level. He has earned three caps to date. He was also the captain and leading scorer in the Pan American games in Canada for the USA national team.

Throughout his career at UCLA, the Galaxy, and the US Olympic and national teams, Vagenas has been teammates with Sasha Victorine. The two Californians were born just four days apart.
