    GAME PREVIEW
    By Franklin Cartoscelli (SRFC website) (edited)

    SRFC
    Republic FC heads to Southern California for their first showdown of the year with Orange County SC. The Indomitable Club come into the match after looking lethargic against New Mexico United on Wednesday night, losing by a final score of 2-1. Sam Werner delivered his sixth goal of the season in the 75th minute to tie things up at 1-1 before New Mexico United dealt the crushing blow.


    OCSC
    Orange County SC host Republic FC after a Wednesday night matchup of their own where they defeated Reno 1868 FC 4-1. The midweek win lifted OCSC into the 10th spot in the Western Conference, right on the heels of Republic FC.

    While Orange County has struggled to win on the road, they hold a respectable home record (5-3-3). Ranking ninth in the USL Championship in goals (33) and 12th in shots (262), Orange County have shown they can be an offensively aggressive team. Republic FC will face an Orange County defense that has conceded the 10th most goals in the USL.


    PLAYERS TO WATCH
    By JOHN ARLIA - john.arlia@uslsoccer.com (from USL website)
    Darwin Jones – Orange County SC
    Jones had a bit of a coming out party against Reno 1868 FC on the matinee edition of Wednesday Night Soccer with a pair of goals and an assist to help Orange County snap the visitors’ five-game winning streak and climb into 10th place in the West standings. With California rival Sacramento Republic FC – which sits level on 26 points with OCSC – visiting Championship Soccer Stadium on Saturday night, a repeat performance would go a long way to seeing the side back into the postseason for a second straight year.

    ^ LOL


    In our last 6 league games we have scored a total of 3 goals, while giving up 7.

    I thought our defense did an adequate job of keeping OCSC off the board, and that we had the better chances throughout the game, but just couldn't finish. Unfortunately, we have seen this before....it's like "deja vu" all over again.

    gotta admit that Orange County FC looks to be in good shape. The club seems to be well supported & the players they have are quality. Remember this side made it to the Conference Finals last season.
