Two matches. Two shutouts. This week, Orange County SC officially secured a spot in the 2024 Playoffs.
In the first match since the departure of Morten Karlsen, Orange County fell 2-0 to Oakland on Saturday.
Orange County SC hosted Miami FC at their home opener for the 2024 season. Although only managing a draw was disappointing, the team's chemistry with their possession and attack showed significant signs of improvement.
Orange County will look to continue on last week’s first win of the 2023 USL Championship season.
It took OC six games to earn their first victory, and the team now set their sights on another visiting Eastern Conference club, Birmingham Legion FC. This game will be the first ever meeting between Orange County and Birmingham, with the visitors coming in currently sitting third in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile OC sit in 9th just one point back of the playoff line.
Orange County SC returned from their cross-country trip to Hartford with 1 point, leaving them with just 3 points in 4 matches. That’s not quite the start the team (and most of the fans) were hoping for when the season kicked off a little under a month ago. Anyway, in honor of OC’s trip to Hartford, the “Insurance Capital of the World”, here are their player rankings
This past Friday was St. Patrick’s Day, and to celebrate, Orange County SC hosted their first of four Beer fests at Championship Soccer Stadium on Saturday night. Oh, and the team also hosted Tampa Bay Rowdies (a year too late). The result: a lot of fans out of the stands, and a 1-1 draw. Orange County looked the more dominant team on the pitch, but too many missed opportunities to put the game away allowed Tampa Bay the opportunity to steal a point, which they did in the 82nd minute.
Orange County SC opened the season with a 1-3 loss to Louisville City FC this past Saturday. Although there were some highlight moments and a few players looked good, most of the team looked like a team playing their first game of the regular season, while one looked a little shaky at times. Let’s look at the player ratings for this match.
Although a 1-3 loss at home is not how anyone wants to start the season; the score shouldn't stop the hype of what looks to be a strong fresh new squad for OCSC in 2023.
Orange County SC announced today the signing of midfielder Ashish Chattha for the upcoming USL Championship season. Chattha now joins OCSC permanently after a standout trial period, including his first professional appearance in the Black and Orange’s international friendly with Hamburger SV.
