Haverford Struggle To Find Winning Form

A lofted ball from the left side caught Kuyat out slightly, and when it glanced off the underside of the crossbar, any hopes Haverford had that the ball might come back out without crossing the goal line were dashed when it landed in the inside netting.

Going down a goal gave Haverford a sense of urgency, and they responded with a fine build up which resulted in a shot by Danny Lyons sailing just wide.

Lyons had been put in on goal through creative playmaking which was initiated by Ryan Brown in the central midfield. Brown carried the ball forward and then slotted a nice pass to Patrick McCallum along the left side, before McCallum sent Lyons in.

It was a nice signal of possible intent by the Dragons, but Lower Merion took it to heart and started increasing their level of play. No sooner had the ball been put back into play following Lyons' miss, than Kuyat made a sliding save on a breakaway which Lower Merion had fashioned.
