Indy Eleven News Release
Irvine, Calif. - Indy Eleven closed its 2025 USL Championship regular season on Saturday night with a 2-1 defeat to Orange County SC at Championship Soccer Stadium. Entering the match with an opportunity to secure a postseason berth, the Boys in Blue produced an organized and competitive performance throughout the opening half. After conceding in the 23rd minute, Indy responded 12 minutes later when Romario Williams converted a well-placed assist from Aodhan Quinn to level the score at 1-1 heading into halftime.
The second half featured a balanced contest, with both sides generating moments in the attacking third while defensive structures remained disciplined. Indy made several tactical adjustments through substitutions to pursue a potential match-winning result, and the group maintained the level required in a must-win scenario deep into regulation.
However, Orange County found the decisive breakthrough in the 90th minute. The result ends Indy Eleven's pursuit of a third-consecutive trip to the USL Championship Playoffs, marking a narrow conclusion to the 2025 regular season campaign.
