The Tigers closed the books on a busy second week of the 2011 season with a 6-1 dual meet loss to Simley Thursday, Sept. 1, in Inver Grove Heights.
The contest followed a familiar early season pattern with the visiting Tigers unable to win the close ones.
"We played well and had a chance to make it a lot closer than the final score showed," Tiger coach Jack Olwell said. "We lost two final set-tie-breakers....I liked our progress and toughness."
The Farmington point came from Megan Stivers who won a three-set tie-breaker at fourth singles.
"It was too hot to play a full third set," Olwell said. "Megan played her usual tenacious match."
Melanie Kappes lost a third set tie-breaker at third singles as did the second doubles tandem of ShyAnne Spurzem and Tasha Sinha.
The Tigers are off until after the Labor Day holiday weekend when they entertain Burnsville Tuesday, Sept. 6, on the Boeckman Middle School courts.
