  • High Point broke through in the 73rd minute when Jordan Lonchar found the back of the net off a pass from Alex Abril
  • The Panthers doubled their lead in the 78th minute as Ryan Inman scored his first of the season
  • Inman took a free kick just outside the box and his shot went over the wall, off the crossbar and then took a fortunate deflection off the back of Jones into the goal
  • Eagles nearly cut the deficit in half in the 83rd minute as Jordan Walshaw laid a ball off to Ben Goodman as his shot just missed wide right
