The Tigers continue to have a split personality, playing well in one half and then not so well in another.
Monday night, Apr. 25, in Chaska, host Chaska/Chanhassen controlled the ball and the scoreboard for the first 24 minutes while building a commanding 9-5 halftime lead.
But after the break the tide turned with the visitors matching the StormHawks goal for goal in an eventual 11-7 defeat.
The loss was the third straight for the Tigers who are still looking for their first win of the 2011 season.
"It was another strange game for us," Tiger coach Dan Pickens said. "We seem to be a team of two halves.
"We are very athletic but we are still learning the game. Chaska/Chanhassen was experienced and they were able to control much of the possession time. We are getting better at our draws and ground ball control, but we still need to improve on ball possession time."
Ally Midboe ran her team-leading season goal total to six with a three-score game. Haley Bradshaw notched her fourth and fifth goals of the year and Brooke Genzler also scored twice for the Tigers. Brooke Raske and Shelby Klotz each added assists to the offensive effort.
Starting goalie Maddie Kohlbeck left the game late in the first half with a knee injury after ringing up 11 saves. Kaitlyn Lacroix replaced her in the nets and finished with five saves.
Next up for the Tigers is their home opener, Thurday night, Apr. 28, against Missota Conference rival Holy Angels. Monday they are back at Tiger Stadium hosting Rochester Century.
