Orange County SC Sweep Preseason Doubleheader

In their final tune-up games of the 2023 preseason, OCSC took victories in both of their March 4 matchups against Los Angeles FC 2 and UC Santa Barbara. 

Two games being played resulted in two different Orange County sides: both good enough to come away with victories. In the early game against LAFC2, Orange County featured a line-up that gives us a good indication of who we will see come March 11 in the season opener. Included in this XI were first teamers Milan Iloski, Daniel Pedersen, Alex Villanueva, Andrew Fox, Colin Shutler, along with an Academy player in Brady Elliott. 

Do Preseason Results Matter?

Do Preseason Results Matter?

Let’s be honest, we always want to win games. Whether it is for league position or bragging rights, a good win puts everyone in a positive mood. 

However, one thing is very apparent: preseason is a period where the final result does not matter as much as playing time and getting ready for the regular season. The preseason is rather defined by teams testing out different lineups and formations against mostly local teams both professional and not.
