Quoting Eric Terrill
"Any time you can get a point on a school's home field it's huge. High Point came after us with a lot of energy, and we made adjustments at the half. I thought we played with more energy in the second half. Give credit to the players for finding a way to score two goals and Jaz for making some great saves."
