Dragons Gain Edge Via Bradley's Strike


The persistent pressure seemed certain to yield the breakthrough for the Dragons, and Brown nearly provided cause for celebration when, in the 12th minute, he beat Hockessin's keeper who had come out to challenge a cross in from the left side just inside the 18 yard line.

Despite beating the keeper, Brown could not control his shot, which sailed just over the crossbar.

Brown had opportunity to make amends for his miss in the 20th minute when Noah Cordrey's corner kick came in from the right side, but Brown was unable to direct his header on the frame.

When Conor Bradley did get the Dragons on the scoreboard, courtesy a right-footed effort in the 39th minute, it was no more than Haverford deserved.

Willie Fineberg's ambitious run down the right side caused the Hockessin defense to collapse, and Bradley knew just how to capitalize on the opening.
