LOOKING TO AVOID THE SNAP
Orange County SC now find themselves ten points out of a playoff spot with just seven games remaining. A win today against an Eastern Conference power could be exactly what they need to get them back on track, and avoid seeing their playoff hopes turn to dust.
All-time record
This is the first matchup all-time between OCSC and Memphis 901 FC.
FORWARD. PLAYER OF THE MONTH. GOLDEN BOOT RACE LEADER. MILAN ILOSKI.
When Orange County’s superstar forward Milan Iloski takes the field on Saturday, he will be looking to make it his fourth straight home appearance with a goal. Having scored against Las Vegas, Phoenix, and San Diego, he has compiled five goals in those three matches and will look to add to his Golden Boot race-leading total against Memphis.
ORANGE COUNTY. ASSEMBLE.
After a midweek matchup on the road with Monterey Bay FC on Wednesday, September 7, Orange County returns home for the latest edition of the 405 Derby with LA Galaxy II on Saturday, September 10 in the third and final Beer Fest of the season. Come on out to Championship Soccer Stadium, our home in Irvine, to show your support for our boys in Orange and Black in the newest chapter of this rivalry.
OUR HOME. OUR COUNTY. IRVINE.
Orange County SC is grateful for all the support we have received from our fans, the USL community and the rest of the soccer world over the past week during our fight to keep OCSC at home at Championship Soccer Stadium in Irvine. We appreciate those who made their voices heard at the Irvine City Council on Tuesday, August 9.
