Cordrey's First Gives Haverford Lead

United had not been so fortunate earlier in the match.

In the 24th minute, the Dragons were pressing well and earned a corner kick of their own. The ball was delivered well, but West Chester managed to clear it to the right side.

Patrick Hegarty was on hand and had time to loft a shot in from just outside the 18-yard line. The United keeper parried, but was unable to control and the ball fell to Noah Cordrey, who found the back of the net for the first time this season with a calmly taken right footed volley.

It was a well deserved goal for Haverford, as they had been applying good pressure on United throughout the first half. Patrick McCallum had a nice opportunity which was just barely saved in the 19th minute after he had made a cutting move of his own to force a scrambling save.
