The loss dropped the Tigers' season record to 6-4-4 and 2-2-2 in conference play but as concerning as the loss was, even more so was the continued lack of scoring punch. Farmington has found the net just twice in the past four games in which it has lost two and tied two.
"Everything has been good but scoring goals," Tiger coach Julian Buss said after Tuesday's game. "Part of it comes from Jared (Wolt) not being 100 percent but we have to find a way to put the ball away."
The Stars netted their first goal midway through the opening half and then added an insurance score with five minutes to play in regulation to move to 11-3-1 overall and 5-1 in the conference.
Tiger sophomore Jake Agnew continued his quality play in the nets, finishing the night with 13 saves.
"We played well against Holy Angels even though we had a couple of players out due to injury oand illness," Buss said. "We moved the ball quickly and passed fairly well.
"We put up a few quality shots but not enough. We were unable to take advantage of corner kicks which were our best opportunities to score."
Buss noted that with one conference game left his team is starting to point toward post-season play and he still likes what he sees from his squad.
"Tonight was a good indicator of the character of this team," he said. "We could have hung our heads but even after they scored their last goal, we kept fighting. I like the grit, determination and positive attitude I am seeing."
The Tigers entertain Shakopee in their conference and regular season final on Thursday. Section 1AA play begins next week.
