Patrick McCallum was making repeatedly threatening runs down the right side, and it turned out to be a pivotal moment for the Dragons when he did so again in the 41st minute.
McCallum's low cross was flicked on by Matthias Chernitsky to Connor Bradley who tapped in from extremely close range to put Haverford back on top.
The play resulted in a rarity: a double assist, as McCallum's pass initiated the play and Chernitsky's one-touch pass set up the tally.
Haverford looked to have extended their lead in the 44th minute when more industrious effort by McCallum ended up with the goal in the net, but the referee disallowed the goal, ruling that McCallum had actually kicked the ball while it was in the keeper's grasp.
Nevertheless, the Dragons kept the pressure on right until the end, putting Saucon Valley on the back foot. Consequently, a yellow card was awarded to one of Saucon Valley's players as the intensity and frustration mounted.
