Heritage is looking to tack another W on to their season record, something they couldn't quite do against Apex Friendship on Wednesday. Both finished up on equal footing with a 1-1 draw. The outcome might've been different if Ryan Palmateer hadn't been hit with a yellow card, which no doubt limited his ability to make aggressive plays down the stretch.
Heritage's goal came courtesy of
Camden Dawson, which was the first he's scored this season.
