In its past four games Farmington has allowed just four goals but has but one win to show for its efforts. The loss dropped the Tigers' season mark to 2-13-2 overall and 1-5 in Missota Conference play.
The Raiders scored solo goals in the first and third periods to up their season numbers to 10-8 and 3-4.
Molly Singewald continued her quality play in the nets in the losing effort, stopping 26 of 28 shots.
Northfield netminder Lizzy Shellum turned away 16 shots to earn her third shutout of the 2012-13 season.
"Both Molly and Maddie (Bowe) have been playing very well, especially since the holiday tournament," coach Jon Holmes said.
Holmes said is having problems coming up with new words to describe his team's offensive struggles. He finally settled on a baseball analogy.
"It's like a baseball team that has good pitching and doesn't commit any errors in the field," he said, "and then offensively, it gets a lot of runners on base but can't get any hits with runners in scoring position."
The Tigers have two more games on tap this week, a Tuesday night road encounter with Chaska/Chanhassen and a Saturday evening date with state-rated Blake at Schmitz-Maki Arena.
