Orange County SC got a much needed goal from Ethan Zubak and were able to rely on a makeshift defensive line in front of Colin Shutler to steal a victory to end Indy’s 10 game win streak.

Then the week after happened and OC lost both its starting midfielder and their head coach.

The argument can be made that Orange County is in panic mode. Losers of four consecutive games, two goals scored in previous four games, nine goals conceded in that time span. To compound those matters even more is the fact that Orange County will also be without their starting center back Ashton Miles and head coach Morten Karlsen due to suspension.

At least the jerseys look nice.

The best thing to do with games that do not go your way is to put them in the back of the head and move on to the next. A short memory is important and OC will have to have one after their last game. While Sacramento looked like a team from another planet, Orange County saw their unbeaten streak end at six games.

One thing that has been shown in the 2024 OCSC season is that this is a resilient team. They have had to deal with a lot of injuries to the starting XI while having played a number of tough away games. Yet they have found a way to earn a point in every game up to this point with a large number of players scoring goals. For a club that historically does not start off well, Morten Karlsen’s first full year as head coach has been pretty positive.
