The talented Blaze captured three of four singles matches and won two of three in doubles to record the non-conference victory and snap the Tigers three-match win string.
"We played a great match against our toughest opponent to date," coach Jack Olwell said. " We had some great chances up and down the line-up with only one lopsided score. Our improvement as a team and as individual players was evident."
The Farmington singles win came at the No. 3 slot where Callie Olmscheid upped her season record to a perfect 9-0 with a 6-3, 6-4 verdict.
Jess Novotny and Beth Fairchild provided the other Tiger point with a 6-3, 6-2 triumph at second doubles.
"They continue to amaze with their fine play," Olwell said, "running down every ball, hitting surgical lobs, and controlling the net."
The No. 1 doubles team of Claire Padrnos and Lindsey Fairchild took their opponents to three sets in a 4-6, 6-4, 1-6 loss.
Megan Stivers also played well at the top singles position, losing 7-5, 3-6 (5-10).
The Tigers will look to get back on the winning track Thursday when they open their Missota Conference season with a dual meet at Northfield.
