Last Time Out
High Point got out to an early lead midway through the first half in Huntington as Skylar Prillaman's unassisted goal put the Panthers up 1-0. Marshall responded in the second half to tie the game a one goal apiece until Bri Davis scored on a dish from Sam Gerhart. A late goal in the 83^rd minute from The Herd tied the game and gave HPU little time for an offensive response.
