The 1-0-1 week leaves Farmington with a season mark of 4-1-3 as it heads into a busy three-game schedule this week.
Destiny Schmitz (from Hannah Miller) and Kenya Macias (from Sarah Zak) netted first half goals to account for all of the scoring in the Missota Conference opener against Northfield.
The shutout behind the strong play of goalie Dani Wright was the fourth in eight games for the Tigers who are giving up less than a goal (0.75) a game.
"It was another physical game and we played them well," coach Tracie Randall said. "I tell the girls at this point it's quality, not quantity. We have had so many chances for goals but we just have trouble finding the back of the net."
At Mayo on Saturday the Spartans broke open a scoreless tie with a goal early in the second half and had the lead until Shannon McKnight converted a penalty kick late in the game to force a pair of scoreless five-minute overtime periods.
The Tigers had 11 shots on goal in the contest. Tiger keeper Wright came up with six saves. (Shot stats courtesy of the Rochester Post-Bulletin).
"We had a strong effort from Kali Allard and Rachael Welzin in the middle and Nicole Doran and Kelli Elmer worked well together to get several good scoring opportunities," Randall said.
The injury list continued to grow during the physical contest. Kayla Kucala (thigh) and Isabelle Ferm (knee) both left the contest early although Randall said both should be ready for action this week.
The Tigers travel to Eagan on Monday for a non-conference game before heading to Red Wing on Tuesday for a Missota Conference contest. They return home Thursday for a league game with New Prague.
