ATTLEBORO — Bishop Feehan was upset by Bishop Stang in the Elite Eight last season, en route to the Stang’s Cinderella run to the Division 1 girls hockey championship game, where it lost to Hingham last March.

Needless to say, Bishop Feehan was looking for payback when it faced Bishop Stang on Wednesday night, and the Shamrocks got it with a 2-0 girls hockey victory.

“The girls were really up for it, we didn’t have to say anything,” Shamrocks head coach Michael Cripps said, “We’ve circled it on the schedule at the beginning of the season, as we’re also their rivals, so it’s always a big game when we play.”

Stang and Feehan were looking for their first victories of the season, as Feehan was shut out by HPNA 2-0 in its season opener on Saturday, and Stang tied with Notre Dame Academy (Hingham) 1-1, another opponent it upset on their championship run last season.

The Shamrocks didn’t take too long to get their first goal of the season when Annie Lough scored from the left side of the net and got it past Stang’s Vivienne Melo. Feehan team captain Georgia Murray had the assist on the goal.

“I’m very excited that I scored that, because it really excited the whole team,” Lough said, “I think we all played better, because we wanted to win more, and I think it brought up the energy and the chemistry that we wanted to work for.”

Eleven minutes into the first period, Shamrock captain Mia Zammiello scored the second and final goal of the game off a pass from Megan Tarnul, as it rolled off the back of Melo and into the net to make it 2-0.

rest of the matchup, with strong performances by Melo and Feehan’s Aviva Olitsky between the pipes, with Melo making a couple of big glove saves in the second and third periods. Feehan also had a strong forecheck, which included staving off two power-play opportunities from Stang in the final seven minutes of the game.

Olitsky had 25 saves for Feehan, while Melo had 19 saves on 21 shots on goal for Stang.

“It’s definitely a lot of the mental part of the game,” Olitsky said, “as they get square on their shot, I have to stay square mentally and just stay focused one shot at a time and not get overwhelmed.”

Bishop Feehan will have another test in its next game Saturday against Archbishop Williams, which is coming off a 5-0 victory over Arlington last Saturday.

“We’re going right into Archbishop Williams, which is another conference game, so they know we have more work to do, so right back at it tomorrow at practice,” Cripps said.

Bishop Stang will go into Peabody on Saturday to have another crack at its first victory of the season when it faces off against Bishop Fenwick at 6:40 p.m.
