Girls Lacrosse: Close again, but...

Ally Midboe 2 goals, 2 assists

If the Tigers didn't have bad luck they wouldn't have any luck at all...or so it seems after Tuesday night's 7-6 loss to Park of Cottage Grove at Tiger Stadium.
The loss was the fifth straight for Farmington and in three of them the margin has been a single goal. A fourth was decided in overtime.
"I don't have much to say," coach Dan Pickens said. "I've said it all before. A team that crushed us 17-3 last year and we were able to give them a run for their money.
"I just wish we could close one out. I'm not at a loss for words often, but this is one of those times."
The Tigers held a 5-4 halftime lead but once again went offensively stagnant in the second half, scoring just two goals.
Ally Midboe and Jessica Erchul scored twice for the Tigers and Adrienne Jolicoeur and Shelby Klotz each added a goal. Midboe also had a pair of assists and Rachael Welzin, Tia Jacoby and Kaeli Halverson recorded one apiece.
Goalie Kaitlyn Lacroix finished with nine saves and played what Pickens termed " a great game."
The Tigers close out their regular season Thursday with a game against Missota Conference rival Holy Angels in Richfield.
"We need to get that one," Pickens said.
