Exeter City dropped to just two points above the League Two relegation zone after they were held to a draw at home to Cheltenham.
The hosts took the lead early on when Craig Woodman swung in a cross which Jordan Moore-Taylor fired home.
The visitors levelled soon after when Byron Harrison nipped in to poke the ball into the bottom corner.
Scot Bennett could have pinched all three points for Exeter late on but his effort went well wide.
Cheltenham Town manager Mark Yates told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:
"Exeter started really brightly and positively against us and we didn't deal with them but we responded well, it's a tough place to come.
"We weathered it and I think we could have played better in the second half but I'm pleased with the point, I suppose.
"David Noble was really good and instrumental in getting the ball down and trying to create a few chances. Byron Harrison scored a really well-taken goal.
"There were too many losses of possession in good areas which resulted in them attacking us, but we stood strong and I can only compliment them after last week."
