The semi-final, rescheduled due to inclement weather, took place the day which had been slated for the championship match. The title match will now be played Nov. 22.
Against Spirit, Haverford started reasonably well, winning the ball and making a foray into the attacking third, but it was United which struck first.
When keeper Danny Lyons went to ground to gather the loose ball in his penalty area and took down the United attacker, the official signalled a penalty kick, ruling Lyons had played the man and not the ball.
The resulting spot kick was slotted low and to Lyons' left, and United took the lead in the 16th minute.
Despite the ominous opening tally, Haverford did not slink away, and instead went to work. Patrick McCallum's industry down the right side first earned a direct kick, and then a corner when Spirit was unable to reclaim possession and move forward.
