Chaska scored the only goal of the night on a controversial play in a 1-0 road loss on Tuesday. Kelli Elmer's second half goal gave the Tigers a 1-0 home win on Thursday at Tiger Stadium.
The split of conference games leaves Farmington with a 4-1 league mark heading into Tuesday's showdown at Holy Angels against the unbeaten (5-0) Stars.
Tuesday's loss at Chaska came on a direct kick on which coach Tracie Randall said her team was caught off guard.
"The girls were waiting for the whistle from the referee as he had instructed," she said. "The Chaska player kicked the ball without the whistle. I don't think Ashley (goalie Becker) even saw it."
Despite the disappointing way the winning goal came about Randall said her team still has to find a way to generate more goals.
"I told the girls we have to show early and put some goals away," she said. "We held possession against Chaska about 80 percent of the time."
Thursday's Parent's Night victory over Chaska came in the 34th minute of the second half on a crossing pass from Megan Graham to Elmer.
The defense, led by Isabelle Ferm, Kayla Kucala, Leah Kiage and keeper Becker did the rest, helping post the team's seventh shutout of the season.
Tuesday's Missota Conference match-up with Holy Angels will pit the Stars' high-scoring offense (22 goals in five league games) against Farmington's stingy defense (one goal allowed in five games).
Game time is 7:30 at the StarDome in Richfield.
