FRAMINGHAM – The Framingham High boys lacrosse team, coming off a strong victory over Catholic Memorial over the weekend, lost to the Tigers of Newton North today, May 18.
The Tigers clawed out a 10-9 win.
The Flyers are now 3-2, 2-2 in the Bay State Conference, under head coach AJ Mulvey.
“It was a heartbreaking loss as time ran out on us as our boys were rallying with three straight goals late in the 4th quarter,” said Mulvey. “But you have to give credit to Newton North and Coach Nick Pfeifer, they are a great team and well-coached.”
This is “obviously, not the result we wanted, but we battled back and forth with a great team right down to the end,” said Mulvey.
