As the match wore on, the Revolution pressed forward in search of goals and it left them somewhat exposed at the back. On one such play, the Concord keeper again came off his line and scuffed a clearing attempt straight to Noah Cordrey who was on the right side.
The Revolution were saved by virtue of the fact that the miscue occurred at an acute angle to the goal, and Cordrey's effort sailed just wide of the post and eluded Kevin Toal as well, who was breaking to the far post from the left side.
At the other end, late in the match, Lyons pounced on a ball which was pinging around the area to deny Concord any goals on the day.
The team, as a whole against the Revolution, put together the same effort which had been the difference the day before against West Chester. And with the playoffs looming the Dragons look to have gained form and momentum at just the right time.
The Dragons are pursuing the ball and closing out their opponents' opportunities with discipline and effort with great midfield play from Higgins, Brown and Willie Fineberg.
The final match of the season will see bottom-of-the-table Saucon Valley visiting Haverford, with the Dragons needing only a draw to retain top spot on the table.
