Lights FC enters on three-game undefeated streak looking to gain ground on Orange County


Las Vegas Lights FC's Frank Daroma and his teammates will look to slow down Orange County SC's Ronaldo Damus on Saturday night, with Damus having scored in his past three outings.

LAS VEGAS – Las Vegas Lights FC will try to continue its recent run of form as it plays host to Orange County SC at Cashman Field on Saturday night in the first meeting between the clubs this season. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET.

@LVLightsFC (2-4-1, 7pts) extended its undefeated streak to three games on Wednesday night as it claimed a 4-3 victory against the LA Galaxy II for its first road points of the season. Christian Torres scored two goals in three minutes in the second half to lead the victory after Alvaro Quezada and Danny Musovski had found the net in the first half after Las Vegas has conceded an early goal. Lights FC is undefeated in its two outings so far at Cashman Field this season, defeating Tacoma Defiance and playing to a 1-1 draw with San Antonio FC last Friday night. The side has struggled in prior meetings with Orange County, though, going 1-6-1 overall and 1-2-1 at home to its Pacific Division rival in past contests.

@OrangeCountySC (3-2-1, 10pts) is also on a three-game undefeated streak after taking a 1-0 victory against Oakland Roots SC last Saturday night in its most recent outing. Ronaldo Damus scored the only goal of the game and has now scored in three consecutive contests overall to move into the team-lead for goals ahead of Chris Wehan and Eero Markkanen. OCSC handed Abraham Romero his club debut against Oakland and the young shot-stopper produced a five-save shutout which could see him retain his place in the lineup ahead of Patrick Rakovsky, who had conceded seven goals and posted a 61.1 save percentage in the first five games of the season.
