Lady Flyers Soccer, Field Hockey Defeated by Needham

Framingham travelled to Needham yesterday and both the girls soccer team and the field hockey team came home without a win. The girls soccer team is still searching for its first win of the season. 

Needham 1 – Framingham 0

Tory Waldstein scored only goal of the contest off a free kick in the first half to give Needham the lead for good.

“She had a pretty good angle, it was just outside the 18 [yard mark] and she decided to curl it in and I don’t know if she was actually shooting or not, but she was going for the far post, [and] she struck it hard,” said Needham’s assistant coach Charlie Mahoney.

Needham had an opportunity to extend their slim lead in the second half, but both referees called off Kayla Steeves free shot in Framingham’s zone due to obstruction in the box.

“It was a good game to watch. It was a good game to be involved in,” said Framingham’s head coach Stacey Freda. “I felt like both teams played the ball down [and] were real technical. We saw a lot of combination plays and I think it’s just a nicer game to see rather than just the kick-ball, so I thought we were on the losing end of it, but I thought we battled and they had a nice goal [and it] probably wasn’t able to be saved and aside from that I thought we contained what I felt to be a very skilled Needham team.”
