Adrienne Jolicoeur 5 goals, 2 assists
Minneapolis outscored the Tigers 5-2 in a pair of three-minute overtime sessions to score an 18-15 victory, Thursday night, May 12, at Washburn High School.
"Another great game, a crazy game, Tiger coach Dan Pickens said. "We took our bumps and bruises and it was a cold, rainy night but we battled through everything and really played a good game...I'd love it if one of these close games would go our way though.
This year Farmington (1-7) is 0-2 in overtime contests and had also lost a one-goal game to Chaska/Chanhassen.
The Tigers started strong, scoring six goals in the first eight minutes but by halftime they were looking up at an 8-7 deficit.
With four minutes to play the visitors were still down 13-8 before putting on a furious rally to pull even on Adrienne Jolicoeur's goal with two seconds remaining in regulation.
"That was a great run of goals that showed the drive of our team," Pickens said. "We never quit."
Haley Bradshaw (6 goals) and Jolicoeur (5) combined for 11 of the Farmington scores. Ally Midboe and Jessica Erchul each scored twice for the Tigers. Bradshaw, Jolicoeur and Haley Doll each added a pair of assists.
Although Pickens felt badly about the narrow loss, he was encouraged by the play of the junior varsity team that posted a 12-4 win behind four goals by Kaeli Halverson.
