How to Watch: ESPN+
Orange County SC continue their road trip on Saturday, June 17th when they duel with FC Tulsa at ONEOK Field in Tulsa, OK at 6:00 PM. The Black and Orange have another chance to reverse their road fortunes after an unfortunate result on the road last Saturday.
STILL LOOKING TO STRIKE OIL
FC Tulsa currently sits in 8th place in the USL Championship’s Eastern Conference. They are currently hanging on to the last playoff spot in the East, thanks to their ability to grind out results. They, ironically, are tied for first in the USL Championship in draws this season, with seven. They have recently made some new additions in hopes to get over the line, bringing in forward Phillip Goodrum from Memphis 901 FC and former OCSC midfielder Tommy McCabe, who most recently played for Detroit City FC. Both of the new additions are in line to make their home debuts on Saturday.
2023 Regular Season Record: 2-5-7 (8th in USL-C Eastern Conference)

STRUGGLING TO STRING TOGETHER RESULTS
After a 2-0 victory continued a stretch of games in which they allowed one goal in four games that appeared to be putting the season back on the right track, Orange County SC were defeated 4-0 last time out in Colorado Springs. This also continues another trend, as the Black and Orange have not won two games in a row since their stretch of four straight to end the 2021 regular season, en route to the title. What is a positive streak for the Black and Orange you ask? They have enjoyed a good deal of success in this matchup in recent memory, winning four out of the last five matches and have outscored FC Tulsa 20-7 in that stretch. They have also won both of the most recent matchups at ONEOK Field by a combined 6-0 scoreline.
