Lexington remains on top of Framingham, 1-0, at the intermission.

Framingham carried play for much of the first half, but an early goal has the Minutemen out front. In the third minute, Lexington's Eric Beard chased down a ball near the end line and slipped a quick feed to Diego Garcia, who was cutting down the middle of the box.

Garcia put a quick foot on the ball and slipped it into the far side of the net for the half's lone score.

Framingham has peppered Lexington and netminder Zach Abdu-Glass, but he's been equal to the task, stopping a bevy of tough shots with dives and lunges in each direction. The Lexington defense has also done a fantastic job keeping Framingham strikers away from the net, which is extremely important given the weapon the Flyers have with captain Adam Skaggs launching corner-kick-like balls on throw-ins.

We'll pass along video after the game, but check out the video player on the High School Sports page to see Woburn's winning goal in a 3-2 overtime triumph over Haverhill earlier this evening.
