Lancers Earn 1-1 Draw With High Point

Curney's Equalizer Pulls Longwood Even Late

FARMVILLE, Va. – Longwood women's soccer and High Point have staged some titanic clashes through the years in the Big South. Saturday afternoon was no different as the two teams battled to a 1-1 draw at the Longwood Athletic Complex.
 
Peyton Curney slotted home a game-tying in the 70th minute for Longwood (3-6-4, 1-1-2 Big South) to counteract Emma Schossler's corner kick goal for High Point (4-4-6, 2-1-2 Big South) in the 60th minute.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
In the opening 45 minutes, it was a cagey battle between two defenses that refused to surrender many opportunities.
 
The back four for both teams didn't make mistakes and kept their opposing forwards from finding breathing room and space.
 
However, the game opened up a touch in the final 45 minutes.
 
High Point was on the front foot early in the second half, and the Panther attack forced a tough save from Mary Kate Levush in the 59th minute that turned into a corner kick. Schossler bent the corner into the back of the net for a 1-0 lead one minute later.
 
That goal ignited the Lancers though, and they pressed forward for the equalizer over the final 30 minutes.
 
They got it in the 70th minute off a free kick. Camille Jernigan played it into the box. After it bounced to the edge of the box, Alayna Palamar played it back across the six, and Curney tipped it home past Casto to make it 1-1. For Curney, it was her third straight game with a point.
 
WHAT THEY SAID:
 
"That result is another big step forward for us," said Longwood Head Coach Todd Dyer. "To come from behind and a get a point against a team that's had our number for a while says a lot about the character of this team. I thought we started slow but managed to keep it at a stalemate the first half."
 
"The goal we conceded woke us up, and we had a really good reaction, playing our best soccer and creating chances late in the game," Dyer added. "Now we prepare for another top team in the league."
 
UP NEXT:
 
Longwood hosts USC Upstate on Saturday, October 14 at 2 p.m. The match will air on ESPN+.
