For the second time in as many seasons Bloomington Jefferson eliminated the Tigers from the Section 3 playoffs.
Last year Jefferson rolled to a lopsided 19-2 win. Monday in Bloomington the 14th seeded Tigers stayed with the No.3 Jags early in a 20-8 loss.
"Jefferson is a very good team and we gave them a little scare for awhile," Tiger coach Dan Pickens said. "I think they (Jefferson) came out looking for the same game as last year but we stayed with them goal-for-goal for the first 10 to 12 minutes."
Farmington scored the first goal of the game and was still locked in a 3-3 tie midway through the first half before Jefferson began to pull away. the Jaguars led 12-5 at intermission.
Haley Bradsahw had a big day for the Tigers, finishing with three goals and an assist. Jess Erchul, Shelby Klotz, Brooke Genzler, Rachael Welzin and Kaeli Halverson also found the back of the net for Farmington. Ally Midboe chipped in with an assist.
Pickens also lauded the play of Haley Doll and goalkeeper Kaitlyn Lacroix.
"Haley won over 50 percent of the draws and Kaitlyn was peppered all night," he said.
"The girls improved so much this year. It was a fun season and it's nice to know we return all of our varsity and junior varsity roster next year except for one senior."
