Orange County SC News Release


Kickoff: Saturday, April 1 (11:00 AM PST)

Where: Trinity Health Stadium (Hartford, CT)

How to Watch: ESPN+

Orange County SC leaves the friendly confines of Championship Stadium for the first time this year, as they head across the country to play Hartford Athletic for the first time in club history. This is OCSC's lone morning game of the USL Championship season (11:00 AM), so put on a pot of coffee, grab some orange juice and cheer on your Black and Orange!

COAST-TO-COAST

Hartford Athletic enters their fifth season in the USL Championship out of the Nutmeg State, now led by former USMNT U-20 manager Tab Ramos. Just like OCSC, this will also be Hartford's third interconference match, after a West Coast road trip to Monterey Bay and Colorado Springs kicked off their season. They recently have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just one goal in their previous two matches.

A WHALE OF AN OPPORTUNITY

Orange County SC makes their first road trip of the 2023 USL Championship season, looking to improve on their road record in 2022. The road was not kind to the Black and Orange last season, as they finished just 2-10-5 away from the Champ. Hartford is the first opportunity of the young season to find more success on the road this year, as they currently have the league's leakiest defense. They have allowed seven goals in three games, the most in the USL-C, which should provide plenty of chances for the likes of Thomas Amang, Sparky McNulty and reigning Team of the Week member Milan Iloski.

All-time record

Orange County SC has never faced Hartford Athletic.
