Despite the score coach Jack Olwell seemed please with his team's play after the long lay-off.
"We played well," he said. "Maybe practicing on a gym floor is the key to rapid improvement as we played an excellent match. Each flight outperformed last year's team by a good margin."
The Farmington point came at second doubles where the tandem of Gavin Renwick and Cooper Ericksen teamed up for back-and-forth, three set victory 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.
"Both teams played excellent tennis, textbook at time," Olwell said, "Only some great shot-making down the stretch pulled it out for us."
In singles play, Ivan Rodriguez played what Olwell termed "...the finest tennis of his career." in an exciting 4-6, 7-5, 8-10 loss.
"This was an incredible match for Ivan, saving a match point late in the second and forcing the third set super-breaker which came down to the wire," Olwell said.
"The match drew dozens of spectators who were treated to a compelling battle of attacker vs counter-puncher."
Farmington (4-5) will try to get back to the. 500 mark Friday when it travels to Richfield for a non-conference match-up with the Spartans.
