Orange County SC traveled to Segra Field to take on Loudoun United FC. Following a hard-fought battle, the County Boys earned a 0-0 draw and a valuable point on the road.
The first half ended scoreless, with Orange County SC recording seven shots, one on target, and Loudoun United FC managing four shots, all off target.
Following an injury stoppage in the 26th minute due to an apparent head injury, Zach Ryan returned to the field and immediately elbowed Chris Hegardt in the face. Initially shown a yellow card for the violent foul, Ryan’s caution was upgraded to a red card. Loudoun was reduced to ten players in the 33rd minute.
The opening 45 minutes were a feisty contest, disrupted by fouls and injuries, concluding after nine additional minutes of stoppage time, with Orange County SC dominating possession at 61% compared to Loudoun United FC’s 39%.
Orange County SC pressed forward eagerly in the second half, but despite the man advantage, they couldn’t find a way past Loudoun’s goalkeeper Hugo Fauroux.
In the 64th minute, Ethan Zubak nearly scored with a header directed at the goal, but Hugo Fauroux made the save to deny one of OCSC’s best chances.
In the 90+3’ minute, Bryce Jamison found Fauroux way out of position, but his open net shot went wide right of the goal, leaving the score tied at 0-0.
The Orange and Black played a strong defensive game, limiting Loudoun’s chances and holding the Red & White to only one shot on target.
The match ended after six additional minutes of injury time. OCSC finished with 56% possession to Loudoun’s 44%, and 19 shots taken against 10 shots from Loudoun. The County Boys also had the most shots on target, with 6 opportunities for a goal.
After the trip to the commonwealth, OCSC will play a Friday night game on ESPN2 in Monterey before returning home to The Champ on July 19 for Local Heroes Night and an in-conference match against Las Vegas Lights FC. For tickets, click HERE
