Needham Boys' Volleyball Falls to Framingham in State Title Game

Needham, MA - Despite a season to be proud of, the Needham boys'  volleyball team came up a bit short in the state final.

The Rockets fell to the Framingham Flyers 3-0 Wednesday night. The win gave Framingham their first title in program history.

From the start it was all Flyers with the team taking an early 9-6 lead in the first half. Needham would come back to get within one at 22-21, but Framingham got the three points needed, winning the set 25-23.

Despite a Needham lead at 8-7, in the second half, the Flyers held a slight advantage for most of a very tight match. Needing extra points to decide the second half, Framingham needed 29 points to take a 2-0 lead going into the third and final set. 

Framingham continued to control the match in the third set. Needham had a chance to extend the game down 23-22, but two straight points from the Flyers decided the state championship.

Needham finishes the season with a record of 22-3.
