The loss ended a three-game Tiger win streak and left them with an 8-7 season mark; 3-2 in the Missota Conference.
"There was literally a lid on the basket tonight for us ," Tiger coach Sondra Chadwick said. "We had great open looks. It was the kind of night you were just waiting for the lid to come off and someone get a spark going and it just never happened.
"When those open shots didn't fall the girls became less aggressive. That's how we found ourselves on the losing end of that run at the end."
The Tigers trailed the Storm 28-23 at intermission but took the lead at 32-31 before the invisible protective shield appeared over the Farmington basket.
Chadwick said her team took away several positives from the loss. Farmington finished the night with a 36-33 edge in rebounding and played solid defense from beginning to end.
"The girls did everything we needed them to do," Chadwick said, "but when the shots aren't falling
they have to get to the basket for some easy buckets or get to the free throw line."
