Both teams continued to stretch the field in the second half as they searched for a tiebreaker. Jose Carlos had a chance in the closing minutes of the game and the Runnin' Bulldogs had a few changes themselves, however, both sides stood steadfast on the defensive front to split the points in a tie.


 WHAT THEY SAID: 

"I think we followed a sound game plan tonight and worked hard enough to compete and stay in control," said head coach Jon Atkinson. "We just lacked the zip and spark that would allow us to expect anything more. Gardner Webb are a good team so overall we knew we had to contain certain areas of the pitch. I feel if got an early goal it would have been the lift we needed to stoke the flames but alas it wasn't to be tonight so we will have to be content with a clean sheet."
