Ryan Kelley was active in the midfield, creating chances for Lyons and Kevin Toal, the latter having a free header threaten the Coventry keeper only to be ruled offside anyway.
Toal was a force to be reckoned with in the offensive third and the defensive third throughout the day. Also holding a firm line was Sean Kauffman, who showed again why he is vital to Haverford's cause.
It was in the 56th minute, however, that Coventry got a lifeline with a goal that set up the final 14 minutes of the match as a nerve jangling ride. Coventry, predictably, took the momentum with their goal, as Haverford looked as though they had let up on the accelerator somewhat.
Pouring men forward, Coventry got a great chance just three minutes after they had tallied, only for Fineberg, and Noah Cordrey to make certain with clearances out of the box. Cordrey, who played numerous positions on the pitch throughout the match, kept his head and denied Coventry a shot.
It looked as though the Dragons would put the match beyond question in the 70th minute, as Brown took a direct from the right side of goal about 25 yards out, but Haverford were unable to capitalize on the situation even as the ball sailed right through the Coventry keeper's hands.
The ball was wide, and with no Dragon on hand at the far post to poke it in, Haverford were forced to rely on the official's whistle to call time on the match, which happened shortly thereafter.
