Lyons Strikes Again, Dragons Score First

Lyons, whose touch was golden the day before against Pottsgrove, saw his ambitious effort sail just over the crossbar. But it was a sign of things to come, as the Dragons forward was keen to keep his scoring average up.

There was a sense early on that he would find the back of the net before the match was through.

Haverford's midfield was linking will with Lyons and Noah Egelkamp, creating decent opportunities. Egelkamp made a fine run down the right side after he had been sent through courtesy a diagonal ball from Ryan Brown in the fifth minute.

The pressure told in the ninth minute when Lyons hit a shot from distance which caught the coventry keeper completely unaware. Egelkamp again was involved, as was Patrick McCallum.

A loose ball, bouncing on the less-than-ideal pitch, was causing problems for the Coventry defense. When they could not control the ball, Lyons stepped up to fire a rising shot into the far corner just below the crossbar.
