SACRAMENTO, California (July 10, 2021) – The boys in Old Glory Red fell 2-0 to Orange County SC on Saturday Night at Heart Health Park, bringing the club’s recent unbeaten streak to a close.
“We have got to refocus; our mentality has to be different,” Head Coach Mark Briggs said in the postgame press conference. “First and foremost, we've got to keep 11 players on the field, that's pretty obvious. We'll readjust and refocus and then we'll get back at it again for Wednesday.”
