Haverford College's men's soccer team is heading to the third round of the NCAA tournament for the first time in program history after a 2-1 win over Washington and Lee at home on Sunday afternoon.
The Fords (17-3) held a 1-0 lead after a Will Corkery goal from the penalty spot in the closing seconds of the first half and Max Krieg's first career goal in the 78th minute held up as the winner after Andrew Kim pulled a goal back for Washington and Lee in the 86th minute.
The win was the 15th in a row for seventh-ranked Haverford and snapped a nine-match winning streak for the Generals, which came in ranked No. 23 in the national polls. The Fords will host St. Lawrence on Saturday.
Joining the Fords in the Sweet 16 will be another local school in Franklin & Marshall, which advanced to the Sweet 16 for the third straight year with a 3-1 win over Gordon College in Lancaster Sunday night.
Junior Jeremy Levine scored the game-winner from the penalty spot in the 53rd minute and assisted on Chase TenBrook's opening goal in the fourth minute. Janse Schermerhorn added an insurance goal in the 60th minute.
The Diplomats (17-3) won their opening round match with a 5-1 win over Babson at home on Saturday with two goals from Alex Bilodeau and goals from Jason Tonelli, Ryan Fincher and Dave Martin. Reserve goalkeeper Josh Gotlib, who played six games for the Philadelphia Union Academy U-18 team in 2013-14, didn't see action in either match.
Franklin & Marshall will travel to Delaware, Ohio to play the nation's No. 1 team in Calvin College on Saturday.
