Last fall the Tigers played one of their best matches of the season in a 4-3 home court loss to Missota Conference rival Chaska.
In this year's re-match at Chaska played Tuesday, Sept. 27, it wasn't nearly as close. The Hawks won in straight sets at all seven positions on the way to a 7-0 victory.
"They have everyone back and have improved a lot," Tiger coach Jack Olwell said, "but still I thought we had a shot at them. It just wasn't our day."
No Farmington singles player won more than two games in a match. The best Tiger performance of the afternoon came at first doubles where Ally Midboe and Katie Burgess played competitively in a 2-6, 3-6 loss.
"There were some stretches of some awesome tennis in that match," Olwell said.
The Tigers close out their regular and conference seasons Thursday with a home dual meet with New Prague at the Boeckman Middle School courts. Section 1AA team play begins next week.
