In a must-win match for both sides, neither looked fully comfortable. In the end, both sides shared a point each.
You can't win if you can't score. Can Orange County SC score? And can they do it against an in-form Charleston Battery?
Saturday night had a few firsts: a first start for Tomas Gomez in nearly two years. Dillon Powers’s first start in 2024. Oh and at the end of it? OC picked up a 2-0 victory over a struggling San Antonio FC.
Some familiar faces return, but it wasn’t enough for Orange County SC to do it on a stormy night in St. Pete.
OCSC were victims to more injuries and a heavy 3-0 defeat by Louisville City on Saturday. This is the first away loss in 2024, but OC remain in third.

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.
