GIRLS BASKETBALL
3A State Tournament
Semifinals
No. 3 Lake Washington 70, No. 2 Arlington 54
TACOMA — The Arlington High School girls basketball team put together a first half that had the Eagles looking as if they were poised to push through to the state finals and end a painful run of semifinal losses.
The Eagles built a 34-26 lead at the break behind red-hot shooting from beyond the arc and a big advantage in the turnover battle.
But it all started to unravel for Arlington in the second half.
Lake Washington took control defensively with its zone and flustered the Eagles into a number of turnovers. While Arlington struggled to regain its rhythm offensively, the Kangaroos hit their stride as they started attacking the basket and 3-pointers started falling.
Senior guard Rae Butler Wu put Lake Washington ahead for good with a go-ahead 3-pointer with 2 minutes, 57 seconds remaining and the third-seeded Kangaroos handed the second-seeded Eagles their third consecutive state semifinals loss in a 70-64 final in the Class 3A state tournament at the Tacoma Dome.
