Not playing for nine days led to some rust for No. 15 Methuen, but the Rangers shook off a first-game loss to win the next three and upset No. 2 Lowell Catholic 3-1 to advance to the second round of the North Division 1 tournament. Ricardo Castillo and Sam Branchaud led the team with 13 kills apiece, and the Rangers will be at Westford Academy Thursday at 3 p.m. for a quarterfinal matchup. Methuen coach Matt Twomey is hoping his squad can channel the Rangers squad of 2012, who advanced to the North championship game as an 11-seed.
