It was an impressive weekend for Hopkinton High School athletics, as all four teams with playoff games picked up two-score wins.

Next up in the Division 1 Round of 16, the third-seeded Hillers (18-0-1) will welcome 14th-seeded Arlington on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.

Boys soccer also won by a score of 3-1, beating visiting Duxbury on Sunday. Tim Zakharov scored in the first half, which ended in a 1-1 tie. In the second half, Drew Bialobrzeski put the Hillers ahead and Jack Ianelli added an insurance goal. The eighth-seeded Hillers (13-2-4) next host 24th-seeded North Attleboro on Wednesday at 4:30 in the Division 2 Round of 16.

On Friday, seventh-seeded HHS volleyball knocked out Tri-Valley League rival Westwood, 3-1. The Hillers won the first two sets, lost a close one in the third, then stormed back to win convincingly in the fourth set. Hopkinton next will host 10th-seeded North Quincy on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Division 2 Round of 16.

Camille Perlov scored twice and goalie Caroline Kane recorded the shutout to lead HHS field hockey to a 2-0 victory over Middleboro on Friday afternoon. Seventh-seeded Hopkinton advances to host 10th-seeded Doherty on Tuesday at 5 p.m. in the Division 2 Round of 16.
