The Lady Vikings Wednesday night blasted Black River 63-28 in a non-league contest. Earlier this month, they blew out Allendale 60-22.
Hopkins started slowly, leading only 7-4 after the first eight minutes, but then kicked things into high gear with a 22-9 advantage in the second quarter and a 29-13 lead at the half.
The gap widened considerably in the third period with a 19-2 burst.
Hopkins was led by Mikayla Bullich with a career-high 22 points and Meghan Schulz with 14.
Black River was led by Haley Griffen with 10 points.
