The win boosted Farmington's season record to 8-4. The Tigers won five dual meets all of last season.
"It was a good meet for us against an inexperienced team," Tiger coach Jack Olwell said. "Most of the matched were well-contested but we managed to score the crucial points."
Ryan Jara, Jessie Novotny and Callie Olmscheid were victorious in singles play while the doubles teams of Beth and Lindsey Fairchild, Kayla Rees and Molly Rudorfer and Sam Gallagher and Sarah Toomey didn't lose a set.
Olmscheid's three-set, come-from-behind win was the most interesting with the Tiger sophomore claiming a comeback 0-6, 6-0, 6-0 victory.
"You won't see that score very often, if ever," Olwell said. "Callie changed strategy after the first set and turned it around."
The dominating Fairchild twins' win at first doubles raised their season record to a lofty 13-1.
The only loss came at first singles where Megan Stivers won the first set 6-2 only to drop the second 4-6 and the tie-brekaer 3-10.
"Megan's backhand deserted her after an excellent first set," Olwell said.
The Tigers jump back into Missota Conference play Tuesday with a road match at Chaska and return home Thursday to take on Chanhassen.
