ABOUT ORANGE COUNTY FC

OCFC earned a spot through a 3-0 victory over Santa Ana Winds FC in last week's first round. OCFC is coached by former USMNT player Paul Caliguri, who enjoyed playing spells with SV Meppen, FC St. Pauli, Columbus Crew and LA Galaxy. Caliguri also recently ran for the presidency of the US Soccer Federation. The election was won by Carlos Cordeiro on February 10. Orange County currently sit in 2nd place in the NPSL's Southwest Conference with their only loss in 2018, a 3-2 defeat to LA Galaxy, occurring during the preseason.

THIRD ROUND

The winner between Fresno FC and OCFC will advance to the USOC third round against the second-round winner between Phoenix Rising FC (USL) and Sporting AZ FC (UPSL). That third-round match will be played next week (May 22 or 23) in Arizona.
