FRAMINGHAM – The Framingham High boys lacrosse team hosted Natick High at Phil Read Field on Thursday. The Flyers lost 10-5.

Framingham is now 5-7, under head coach AJ Mulvey.

“Tough loss but a good game. Natick is one of the top teams in the state and we held our own,” said Coach Mulvey.

“Definitely a massive improvement from our first game with them. We were patient and moved the ball well on offense. And our defense was awesome. Very few teams hold Natick to 10 or fewer goals. We’re getting better every game. We will break down the film to learn from our mistakes and shift our focus to Wellesley,” said Mulvey.
