The Wingers scored a pair of goals in each of the first two periods and then exploded for four scores over the final 17 minutes to win their 21st game in 23 tries this season.
"We outshot them for the most part for the first two periods," Farmington coach Jon Holmes said. "We just weren't ready for rebounds or in the right spots to get them.
"Much like the first time we played them their shots were just harder than ours. It could have been our two best periods of hockey we have played this year."
The loss dropped Farmington to 3-17-3 with two games remaining on the regular season schedule.
All-Missota Confernece forward Nicole Shammel scored her 10th hat trick of the season and added three assists to lead the potent Red Wing offense.
Grace Gavin netted the lone Farmington goal, her team-leading sixth of the season, in the third period on assists from Haleigh Zwart and Tyler Words. The assist by Words was the first point of her varsity career.
"In the third we played four lines after playing three lines all game," Holmes said. "It was good to see those kids get some much deserved playing time and they performed well."
Maddie Bowe patrolled the Farmington goal, finishing the night with 26 saves. Ex-Tiger Ashley Corcoran stopped 21 of 22 Farmington shots to pick up the win for the Wingers.
The Tigers close out their home season Tuesday night when New Prague pays a visit to Schmitz-Maki Arena and then bring down the curtain on the regular season with a road game at Rochester John Marshall next Friday (Feb. 1).
