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 ...
