Two USL titans with championship pedigrees are set to collide in the desert as Orange County SC travels to face Phoenix Rising, with both clubs desperate to ignite their 2026 campaigns after shaky season openers. To snap a haunting winless streak on the road, OC must unleash a revitalized Lyam MacKinnon against a high-octane Phoenix squad led by the dangerous playmaker Hope Avayevu.
Aodhan Quinn is no longer with Orange County SC. That is tough to type, but even more difficult is this next part…. he has signed with Phoenix Rising FC. A staple of the OCSC starting 11 since his arrival to the club from FC Cincinnati in 2018, Quinn has become a fan favorite of County Line Coalition and others that follow the club. He now joins what is arguably the top team in the USL Championship who also are the top rivals to Orange County SC.
