Accrington manager John Coleman was left frustrated after seeing Torquay goalkeeper Scott Bevan deny his side three points.
Bevan had already made several good saves before he produced a breathtaking stoppage-time reflex save to keep out Andrew Procter's powerful downward header.
"I thought we played very well in the first half. I thought we controlled the game and made some good openings and forced a couple of good saves off their keeper," said Coleman.
"In the second half I expected more of an onslaught, especially with them having the breeze behind them, and while they had a lot of territorial advantage, they didn't really hurt us.
"You know when we get the ball down and pass we look a good side. It's sometimes when we are wasteful in possession that we can look a little bit disjointed.
"It's still early days and we are still working on things. If we could add goals we would be higher up the league."
