Dragons Get Vital Win Over Harleysville


The Haverford Dragons got a total team performance, including timely intervention from goal keeper John Kuyat Saturday to stop their three-match slide and record a much-needed win against Harleysville FC, 2-1.

As he has done all season, Danny Lyons proved hard for the Harleysville defense to handle, scoring yet another goal, but the pivotal play came on an aggressive attacking move by forward Patrick McCallum, who netted the match winner.

About 10 minutes from full time, Lyons unleashed a hard, low shot to the Harleysville keeper's right. He got to the shot, but the Harleysville keeper bundled the ball, and McCallum — who followed the shot with a well-timed run — slide on to the loose ball to pop it over the line.

It was a crucial goal.

The Dragons had been out hustled for siginificant portions of the match up to that point. But when it counted, they found a way to edge in front of the visitors.
