Another player making a difference was Keeniya Kelly, who almost dropped a double-double on nine points and 11 rebounds.
Hopewell's victory bumped their record up to 17-5. As for Tabb, they have not been sharp recently as the team has lost five of their last six matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 10-14 record this season.
