Amy Menke scored the game's only goals, one midway through the second period and the other early in the third, to lead Shakopee (4-6-1) to a 2-0 Missota Conference win Friday night at Schmitz-Maki Arena.
Farmington, 1-7-1 for the season, is winless in four tries at Schmitz-Maki this season. The Tigers are 0-2 in Missota Conference play.
The Sabers outshot the Tigers 30-19 with Farmington sophomore goaltender Maddie Bowe finishing the night with 28 saves.
"We played pretty well overall," coach Jon Holmes said. "We knew we had to go in and limit their first line which has two of the top scorers in the state, and we held them to two which is good.
"We just weren't able to capitalize on our own chances. We hit some posts and had some very near misses that we just needed to bounce our way.... Games like this against we classify as toss-up games; it would just be extremely helpful to grab one or two of them."
Next Tuesday the Tigers get another opportunity to find success at Schmitz-Maki when Red Wing comes to town for a Missota Conference game. Friday they travel to New Prague for another league contest.
