Both matches will kickoff at 6:00 PM.
Beginnings of a rivalry
Look for Saturday’s match to be nothing but highly charged and atmospheric from the first touch! Since joining the NPSL in 2016, ASC San Diego and Orange County FC have formed the what was a regular season matchup to bit of a fierce rivalry between the two Southwest powerhouses. With ASC coming out as last year’s Southwest Conference champions but losing to OCFC in the playoffs to end their prolific season, the rivalry continues to build. Although OCFC are the current Southwest Conference leaders, ASC will take Saturday’s matchup as an opportunity to close down on the top of the table. With ASC coming off a strong road win and Orange County having to settle with a draw at home in their last match, both teams will be looking to light up the scoreboard with the first points.
