"I thought this was a pretty even match-up for us," Tiger coach Sondra Chadwick said, "But we seemed to have the odds against us after we had 10 fouls called on us in the first seven minutes of the game.
"That caused the girls to play timid at both ends of the court and we only shot six of 25 in the first half."
The early foul trouble and cold shooting translated into a 29-15 halftime deficit from which the visitors could never recover.
Farmington played the Stars on even terms after the break but could not dig itself out from its first half hole.
"We decided we would ramp up our defensive intensity in the second half and we caused a number of Holy Angels turnovers," Chadwick said. "I still would have liked to see us do a better job on our defense in the paint and cut down our unforced turnovers."
Chadwick said she was pleased with her team's second half effort and pointed to several players who "stepped up at both ends of the court."

Abby Gallus scored all of her 11 points after intermission and also recorded five rebounds and four assists.
"This was the most active I have seen her,"coach Chadwick said. "It helped the team tremendously to have her on the floor for more minutes."
Kaitlyn Gorden didn't score but was a force on the boards, yanking down 11 rebounds.
The Tigers have a week to prepare for their next game, a Missota Conference road contest Friday, Jan. 25, at Chanhassen.
