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 return home for matchday 6, and will host the Indy Eleven in an inter-conference bout.
It has not been the start that either team had hoped for to their 2023 seasons. For the Boys in Orange, this Saturday will serve as another opportunity to pick up their first victory. For Indy, they will look to get back in the win column after an equally lackluster start. As it stands, Orange County are currently 0-3-2 and sit at 11th in the Western Conference. It may be a long season, but points become much more valuable as the season goes.
Orange County SC had their second away game of the season on Saturday, continuing their frustrating start to the season with a loss to the El Paso Locomotive.
Whoever wins this game will get a much needed boost while the loser will be left struggling to find answers.
After Orange County easily dispatched their first Open Cup matchup on Wednesday, Orange County will head out to West Texas to take on El Paso Locomotive FC. This will be OC’s first trip to the Lone Star state in 2023 and they will be doing so with the intention of winning their first league game.
The Lamar Hunt US Open Cup is here and Orange County are set to enter into the second round of the annual tournament.
In normal fashion, all USL Championship independent sides enter into the competition at the second round and match up often against local lower league sides. Overall Orange County has had very little success in this competition. Their best run to date came in 2017 when they reached the fourth round of competition before bowing out to the LA Galaxy.
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
Orange County SC’s first away game of the season saw them travel east to face off against Hartford Athletic, for the first time in club history, at the Trinity Health Stadium in Hartford, CT. A strong battle between these two teams ended with Orange County’s third tie in a row at 1-1.
