For the third time in its last five games Farmington failed to score a goal as the Tigers saw their losing skid reach seven games in a 1-0 loss to Apple Valley Friday afternoon in the consolation semifinals of the Louis Schmitz Holiday Classic at Schmitz-Maki Arena.

With the loss Farmington (1-11-1) landed a spot in Saturday morning's seventh place game against Rosemount (3-9-1). The Irish lost to Hastings 3-2 in Friday's other consolation semifinal.

The loss to Apple Valley featured another case of missed chances as the Tigers came up empty on six power play opportunities.

The shot opportunities were even through most of the contest with the Eagles finishing with a 29-22 edge.

The game was scoreless through two periods with Valley's Jordy Haupert providing the game-winner in the final frame.

Eighth-grader Molly Singewald worked the nets for the Tigers in the losing effort, stopping 26 of 27 shots in her best performance of the season.

The puck drops at 9:00 a.m. for Saturday's seventh place game with Rosemount.
