Haverford Go 1-1 At KIXX Tournament

The Haverford Dragons came away from the KIXX Indoor Tournament Dec. 13 with one win and a loss to finish third, despite having a slew of chances to win its opening match and put themselves in contention for a trophy.

Haverford were extremely unlucky not to have claimed victory in their first match of the day against Winslow, as the Dragons hit the cross bar twice the the uprights six times.

Noah Cordrey’s header, from a perfectly weighted cross sent in by Patrick Hegarty on the right, glanced off the crossbar.

Keeper Danny Lyons made a lunging save at the other end, and the Dragons transitioned right back to offense, only to have Hegarty drive a shot off the upright. It was then Matthias Chernitsky’s turn to hit the post, again off a great pass from Hegarty.

But against the run of play, Winslow took their opportunities well, and jumped to a 3-nil lead in the 12th minute.

Finally, Haverford got something to show for their efforts in the 16th minute when Conor Bradley’s shot hit the net, and then Patrick McCallum followed that with another tally two minutes later.
