Saturday afternoon's 0-0 overtime tie with the Panthers at Tiger Stadium didn't necessarily make up for those losses but it did show Tiger coach Tracie Randall her team is trending in the right direction.
"We came out strong and played as a team," Randall said. "We have changed our perspective and decided to come out the last few games and make our presence known.
The girls played with momentum and didn't want to allow any goals. Coming out tied is a definite win for us. We are making progress and trusting each other more."
The game was played in cold, wet and windy conditions and although those factors played a part in how the game was played, Randall said they didn't dictate the outcome.
" The weather was a factor, but the girls really worked through it," she said. "We were going in for good tackles and winning the 50/50 balls we should be winning."...We did a good job of keeping North out of our end of the field."

The first year Tiger coach also liked the assertiveness of Megan Graham and the midfield play of Kari Allard, Kelly Kornmann and Kelli Elmer. Hannah Miller also created some scoring chances up front.
Ashley Becker worked the Farmington nets and finished the day with six saves. The Tigers had nine shots on goal.
"This is the first time that we haven't loss to North," Randall said. "I couldn't be happier."
Farmington (4-1) travels to Richfield Tuesday for a game with Holy Angels (5-0) that could go a long way in deciding the Missota Conference title. The Tigers end their regular season Thursday at home versus Shakopee.
