Dodge County entered last Friday night's (Feb. 11) Section 1AA quarterfinal contest with the Tigers with a 17-4 record. They left Schmitz-Maki Arena with a humbling 8-1 loss.
Krystal Baumann ran her lofty season goal total to 50 with a four-goal outburst and teammates Hannah Alexander, Betsy Anderson, Chloe Batta and Haleigh Zwart each scored once to propel the locals into a semifinal match-up with Lakeville North Tuesday, Feb. 15, at Ames Arena. North defeated Farmington 4-2 earlier in the season.
Baumann and Anderson each found the net in the opening period to stake the Tigers to a two-goal lead and then the potent first line of Baumann, Alexander and Batta reeled off four more scores in the second to build a commanding 6-1 cushion.
Two more scores in the final frame, Baumann's fourth of the night and Zwart's first, put the finishing touches on Farmington's 19th win of the 2010-11 season.
Baumann added an assist for a five-point night and Anderson had a pair of assists to go with her goal for a three-point effort. Alexander, Batta, and Rachel Peroutky each tallied two points. Bria Donnelly and Grace Gavin also had assists for the winners.
Jessica Erchul worked the Farmington nets and posted her 19th win of the season, stopping 25 of 26 shots. The Tigers outshot their guests 52-26.
The winner of Tuesday night's clash with North will advance to the section finals against the Lakeville South-Owatonna winner Friday, Feb. 18, at Four Seasons Arena in Owatonna.
