KEEP THE PARTY ROLLIN'!

Orange County SC looks to build on some momentum they built from their previous outing, a 1-0 victory over Indy Eleven, for their first league win and clean sheet on the season. Led by last week's man of the match Ryan Doghman, the center back pairing of Markus Nakkim and Andrew Fox, and goalkeeper Cody Cropper, the OCSC defense will look to post another strong performance against a good Legion attack. This will be the Black and Orange's first of three games in seven days.

All-time record:

This is the first meeting between Orange County SC and Birmingham Legion FC.

ALMOST PARTY TIME...AGAIN!

OCSC forward Milan Iloski inches his way closer to rewriting the Orange County SC record books, as he enters Saturday's match with 28 career goals in an Orange County shirt, currently tied with the current club record set by former Jamaican forward Michael Seaton. Iloski broke Seaton's USL Championship goal scoring record last week with his converted penalty against Indy Eleven.
