Just four days after getting their first win of the season, Orange County welcomed the Tacoma Defiance, hoping to earn another win. From the start of the match, OC had a couple of early chances to put the Defiance under pressure.

Darwin Jones caused problems for the Defiance defense all night. He seemed happy to be back on the wing, saying after the match that his “specialty going one verses one on the outside back.” His efforts paid off as he netted his fourth goal of the season in the 28th minute from an Aodhan Quinn pass.

Orange County looked comfortable on and off the ball. The team limited Tacoma to one to just one goalscoring chance in the first half. While possession was nearly even, it was evident that the Orange and Black were more productive.
