All-Missota Conference forward Amy Menke scored four goals and assisted on two more as Shakopee rolled to a 6-0 Missota Conference win over the Tigers Thursday night at Shakopee.

The shutout by the Sabers was the second of the season over Farmington (2-16-1) who came out on the short end of a 2-0 score when the two teams played at Schmitz-Maki Arena in December.

"Not much for us tonight," Tiger coach Jon Holmes said. "We just came out flat and didn’t capitalize on the opportunities that we had."

Menke scored one of Shakopee's two first period goals and then netted the only one of the second to give her team a three-goal edge with a period to play.

The winners scored three more goals in the final 17 minutes, two by Menke, to improve their record to 9-10-2 overall

Shakopee kept Tiger goalie Molly Singewald on her toes, firing 41 shots on net in the contest. Farmington finished with 18 shots on Sabers' goalie Amber Flood who recorded her third shutout of the season.

The Tigers travel to Inver Grove Heights Saturday for a non-conference matinee with Simley before returning to Schmitz-Maki Arena next Tuesday to entertain Holy Angels. Farmington defeated the Stars 2-0 earlier in the season.
