PRO SOCCER OCSC shut out by Rio Grande Valley FC

BY ANDREW TURNER

Coming off its first loss follow- ing an eight-match unbeaten streak, Orange County Soccer Club was eager for its chance to rebound just three days later. It did not play out that way, as an early goal by Rio Grande Valley FC had the host chasing the game. Juan Carlos Azocar scored in the second minute, and Rio Grande Valley defeated Orange County 2-0 on Saturday evening at Championship Soccer Stadium at the Great Park in Irvine. Orange County (6-4-3, 21 points) is tied for second place in the Cham- pionship’s Pacific Division stand- ings with the San Diego Loyal. The hosts dropped their sec- ond straight game, the other coming against San Diego on the road on Wednesday. It marks the first time that Orange County has suffered consecutive losses this season. “Obviously, don’t want to give up a goal right there in the first five minutes,” Orange County coach Braeden Cloutier said. “We knew that we were coming into the game with a lot of heavy legs and a lot of miles that they’ve logged in the last three or four Spencer Grant weeks, and we knew that if we dug ourselves a hole, it was going ORANGE COUNTY'S executes a tackle against a Rio Grande Valley FC player in the first half of Saturday’s match in Irvine. to make life really difficult.” Wan Kuzain made a run off the ley goalkeeper Tyler Deric. close range.
