The Tigers made just 13 of 50 shots in the contest (26 percent) and got to the free throw line just six times the entire game.
"With the three-day break without practice, we were either going to come out
looking re-energized or rusty," coach Sondra Chadwick said. "Unfortunately, it was the
latter.
"We got good shots but they just wouldn’t drop for us tonight...I
was disappointed that we were not more aggressive getting to the basket and
settling for outside shots. We need to be more aggressive with our
dribble penetration against a zone."
The Tiger defense forced several Raider turnovers in the opening half but not many turned into points thanks to the ice-cold shooting. The visitors trailed 21-19 at intermission.
The basket seemed to get even smaller for Farmington after the break with the Tigers managing just 16 second half points. The Raiders sealed the win with clutch free throw shooting in the final minute.
Abby Gallus was the top Tiger scorer with 11 points. Sofia Chadwick and Jordyn Homeier each finished with six points. Kaitlyn Gorden and Alicia Hett each had five.
Gorden pulled down a team-high 11 rebounds.Chadwick led in assists with four and she and Gorden each recorded five steals.
The Tigers return to action Friday night when they travel to Red Wing for another league contest.
