Farmington (0-4) piled up 33 shots on goal but found the back of the net on only six in its 11-6 loss to Holy Angels in its home opener played Thursday, Apr. 29, at Tiger Stadium.
The visiting Stars led 6-3 at intermission and then weathered a furious Tiger shot blitz over the final two periods to post the win.
"We played very aggressively and had ball possession for about 75 percent of the game," Tiger coach Dan Pickens said. "We played a very good game and no one can question our effort.
"We did everything right except score, but unfortunately that is the most important statistic. We found our neutral zone game which worked great...I always tell our girls to celebrate progress and tonight we progressed as a team."
Six different players scored goals for Farmington: Adrienne Jolicoeur, Ally Midboe, Haley Bradshaw, Tia Jacoby, Rachael Welzin and Shelby Klotz. Jolicoeur also had a pair of assists for the Tigers in the losing effort.
Kaitlyn Lacroix drew her first varsity start in goal and played the entire game for Farmington.
"We will be looking for our first win next week," Pickens said. "The girls are hungry."
