The Chanhassen Storm blew into Tiger Stadium Tuesday afternoon and made life miserable for the Tigers in a 2-1 Missota Conference victory.
The winners rallied from a 1-0 halftime deficit to even their season record at 4-4-1. The loss dropped Farmington to 6-5 and snapped the Tiger's three-game win streak.
Destiny Schmitz recorded her third goal of the season on an assist from Kelli Harstad to give the Tigers their one-goal lead at intermission but both second half scores belonged to the Storm who posted their first league win of the season.
Freshman keeper Ashley Becker was back in the Farmington nets after posting her first varsity win in a 2-1 victory over Red Wing last Thursday.
"It was just like the Hastings game, a poor effort on our part," Tiger coach Rob Carpentier said. "We were not mentally there."
The loss dipped Farmington's record in the conference to 1-2 and according to Carpentier put a serious damper on its pre-season goal of competing for the league title.
"Any shot we had at that is pretty much gone," he said.
The Tigers hope to bounce back Thursday when they entertain Shakopee in another Missota Conference contest at Tiger Stadium.
