not that it's time to press the panic button yet.
"What you saw today was us on an off day," Olsen said. "We weren't sharp, our passing wasn't good and we didn't seem to have our legs. They did a great job of pressuring the ball. They went after us and we have to get used to that because every team is going to do that against us at this point. On a positive note, we had an off day but we still got out of here with a tie."
Added Boswell: "I don't think we played very well, but anytime you get points on the road, especially against your rival that's good. I thought they had some good plays and we had some good plays but overall I think it was a pretty sloppy game and we'll take the point on the road."
But that almost didn't happen when a Youri Djorkaeff shot glanced off the left arm of Bryan Namoff in the 76th minute. Referee Mauricio Navarro, though, didn't call a penalty kick.
"It was a deflection so it could go either way," Namoff said. "It wasn't deliberate and the ref made the decision that way."
