Eighth-seeded Bangor jumped to an early lead and hung on to advance out of the preliminary round with a 3-2 win over No. 9 Lewiston in a Class A North field hockey postseason contest Saturday.

Bangor’s Kaylee Perkins scored first, followed by a goal from Gigi Sychterz just 35 seconds later to put the Rams up 2-0.

Lewiston’s Charlotte Gastonguay got one back near halftime, but Claire Pellegrino scored early for Bangor in the second half to go up 3-1.

Alexis Freeman put the Blue Devils back within a goal when she scored with 8:38 left in the game, but Lewiston’s comeback bid ended there.

Bangor will play No. 1 Skowhegan on Tuesday.
