The No. 10 seed Raiders, however, had to survive two and a half periods of pressure to hang on to the 1-0 victory in the preliminary round game of the MIAA Div. 1 State Tournament at Watertown’s John Ryan Arena, last night. Just 5:16 in to the game, Watertown junior Lauren Giordano took a pass from Justine Johnson skated past some Flyer defenders and shot a back-hander into the corner to beat Framingham’s freshman goalie Ashley Castriotta. “I got it and just went around with my backhand,” Giordano said. “When I go backhand, I usually go upper right corner in the air. …
