Despite falling short of USL title game, Orange County Soccer Club owner says it's just a start

Two years after buying the Orange County Soccer Club and finding it a handsome new home in Irvine, James Keston watched his team fall a goal short of qualifying for last week’s USL championship game.

Some might have viewed that as a crushing defeat. Keston prefers to think of it as a pretty good start.

“Our entire attitude is when things go well, as they certainly have this year, we’re obviously pleased. But we’re by no means satisfied,” Keston said. “We’ve accomplished a lot, especially on the field. But it’s a five-year plan. There’s so much more we’re trying to accomplish here.
