Everything You Need to Know When Orange County SC Visit Tacoma Defiance in Week 25

October 7, 2021 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Orange County SC News Release


Orange County SC embarks on their last out-of-state road trip in the regular season as they head up to the Pacific Northwest to play Tacoma Defiance on Saturday, October 9 at 7p at Cheney Stadium. OCSC opened up the 2021 USL Championship regular season in Tacoma back in May.

PLAYOFF UPDATE

Heading into OCSC's last six games, the team is still positioned to make the USL Cup playoffs and a win against Tacoma not only will cap the season series on a positive note, but also bring OC much closer to the postseason. Since Tacoma beat OC on a rainy August evening in Irvine, the Defiance went from having an eight-game unbeaten streak to winning only one game in their last eight tries to date.

BREAKING RECORDS

Attendance: 5,130 - OCSC played in front of the largest regular season crowd in club history at Championship Soccer Stadium on Saturday, October 2 against league leaders Phoenix Rising FC. Coupled with Oktoberfest, the final Beer Fest of the season, Championship Soccer Stadium provided an electric, playoff-like atmosphere from kickoff to the final whistle. OCSC has played their home games at Championship Soccer Stadium since 2017.

GOT GERMAN GOALKEEPING?

Despite the 1-0 defeat to Phoenix Rising FC on October 2, OCSC goalkeeper Patrick Rakovsky made yet another highlight reel save earning him a spot in the USL Championship Fans' Choice Save of the Week - Week 24. Rakovsky came off his goal line to stop Phoenix forward Solomon Asante's breakaway chance towards goal. The ball rebounded back to Asante who tried to chip his second attempt over the head of the out of positioned Rakovsky, but the German goalkeeper made a leaping lunge punching the ball out of play.

TENEMOS TACOS | WE GOT TACOS

OCSC will play their second game in seven days when they host Phoenix Rising FC-yes, again-on Wednesday, October 13 on Fiesta de Fútbol night. In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, OCSC celebrates a culture that is integral to the county by hosting a night full of Hispanic music, food and fun.
