Orange County SC News Release


Orange County SC played to a chippy 1-1 draw with Hartford Athletic on Saturday, April 1 in their first ever trip to Trinity Health Stadium in Hartford, CT. Forward Milan Iloski scored his second goal of the season and 24th goal of his Orange County career, moving him into a tie with former Jamaican forward Michael Seaton for most regular season goals in club history.

Orange County began the match on the front foot after forward Milan Iloski was taken down just outside the box in the sixth minute by Hartford defender Kaveh Rad, who was shown a yellow card for his troubles. Iloski then beat Hartford goalkeeper Richard Sanchez near post on the ensuing free kick in the seventh minute to put the Black and Orange in front.

Forward Marc "Sparky" McNulty nearly had the second for OCSC in the 21st minute, after receiving a through ball from Iloski, but his right footed shot was saved by Sanchez.

Iloski almost found his second of the match after McNulty found him with a cross near the six yard box, but Sanchez made himself big and came up with a point blank save.

Hartford defender Matt Sheldon had the first shot on target for the home side, but his effort was saved comfortably by Cody Cropper.

The home side found the equalizer through forward Elvis Amoh in the eighth minute of first half stoppage time. There was a minimum of four minutes to be added on to end the half.

Defender Ryan Doghman, making his first Orange County start, found Iloski in close with a good cross in the 54th minute, but Iloski's effort went just wide of the near post.

Forward Emil Nielsen looked to put the Black and Orange ahead in the 60th minute after Iloski pulled Sanchez out of his net, but the Dane's shot was cleared off the line.

Midfielder Kyle Scott had the last chance to send home OCSC with all three points in the 97th minute with a shot from just outside the box, but his effort sailed high over the crossbar.

Orange County SC earned a point in their debut match with Hartford Athletic and will now return home on Wednesday, April 5 as they begin their march towards the CONCACAF Champions League in their Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Second Round match against Capo FC.
