ATTLEBORO – The Bishop Feehan field hockey team knows a little too well about the dangers of the first couple rounds in the Div. 1 state tournament, losing its second-round matchup last year via upset.With or without a crack at redemption in mind Saturday afternoon, though, the eighth-seeded Shamrocks (12-5-1) will get it by securing a resilient 3-0 win over No. 25 Brookline in first-round action.Ava Meehan and Jordi Higgins assisted each other on their respective goals in the win, capping a relentless attack that was put to the test by a stingy Warriors (9-8-2) defense. Bridgette McGinnis’ tally was the only goal Bishop Feehan finished on 15 offensive corners, while its own defense didn’t allow a shot on goal.The Shamrocks’ prize is a rematch with the No. 9 King Philip team that ousted it in last year’s second round. They play Tuesday at 5 p.m.“That first game, you never know,” said Bishop Feehan head coach Betsy D’Ambrosia. “All the pairings, you just don’t know what you’re going ...
