Friday was not kind to Hopkinton High School’s tournament teams, as girls soccer and girls volleyball both fell at home.

Soccer suffered a 1-0 loss in the Division 1 Round of 16 to Newton North, which scored the game’s only goal on a scrum in front of the net. That came with 13:33 remaining in the first half. While Hopkinton controlled much of the play, the Hillers were unable to break through.

Seventh-seeded Hopkinton’s season ends at 16-2-2. Newton North (11-7-2), the 10th seed, advances to the quarterfinals.

Volleyball lost to Westwood in straight sets. After falling behind 12-6 in the opening set, the Hillers rallied to take 20-16 lead. But Westwood had the answer, closing with a 9-1 run to take a 25-21 decision.

Westwood also closed the second set in strong fashion, turning a 17-14 lead into a 25-18 win.

The Wolverines jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the third set. Hopkinton closed to within two points at 8-6 and kept it close the rest of the way, but Westwood had enough for a 25-20 clinching win.

The fourth-seeded Hillers finished with a record of 18-5. Fifth-seeded Westwood (18-3) moves on to the semifinals.

UPDATE: On Sunday, the HHS field hockey team dropped a 6-1 decision at Canton in the Division 2 quarterfinals. The Hillers trailed 1-0 at the half but could not keep the hosts from pulling away.
