Arlington scored a power-play goal in the second period to tie the game 1-1 in the second period.
The Spyponders scored early in the third, the eventual game-winning goal.
“It’s a tough loss. It stinks for sure,” said head coach Will Ortiz after the game. “I’m proud of the way our kids played from start to finish.”
He said goalie Jake Handy gives Framingham an opportunity to win everytime he is on the ice.
“That kick save in the second period was unbelievable,” said Ortiz.
Ortiz said he relied on his top two lines in this game.
UPDATED: Framingham will now play Xaverian High on Sunday at 3:15 p.m. at Gallo Arena in Bourne.

Framingham won in December at Loring Arena, and then lost late in the season 4-2 to Xaverian.
This time it will be neutral ice, but a battle is still expected as the loser will skate no more.
