After First Goal, Dragons Assert Themselves

That first goal opened things up a bit for the Dragons, and they started playing more creatively. The midfield inventiveness of Kevin Toal, Brown and Cordrey, continued to provide more chances as the second half unfolded.

Haverford goalkeeper John Kuyat had a relatively slow day at his end, but did have to be alert a couple of times with the score 1-nil, as Hockessin showed its fighting spirit.

The dending along the back line was stellar, as Kelley, Sean O'Connell, Peter Moore and Sean Kauffman were relentless in shutting down Hockessin's best attempts.

Ever composed, Kuyat also benefitted from a lack of finishing by the Delaware outfit when one of Hockessin's forwards shot well over the bar from close range with the goal gaping.
