As Garfield High School has gone on to win the past four WIAA Class 3A girls basketball championships, the one program from the 3A Metro League that has given the Bulldogs the most fits is Lakeside of Seattle.

And the No. 2 Lions did it again Friday night at home, pulling away for a 64-51 victory to sweep the 3A Metro League regular-season series.

Lili Brown led the Lions with 16 points - half coming in the final quarter. Willa Chinn and Helena Christofilis added 14 points apiece.

Mariah Roy led Garfield with 16 points, but the team lost standout forward Sarah Lessig less than two minutes into the game to an ankle injury. She needed help off the floor.

Lakeside won the earlier meeting, 69-65, in overtime in December.. The two programs met in a rematch at 7:30 p.m. Pacific time in Seattle. No live feed is available on NFHS Network (subscription only).

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

FINAL

Leading scorers - Roy (G) 16, Lewis (G) 11, Most (G) 9. Garfield was 16-46 FGs. Brown (L) 16, Christofilis (L) 14, Chinn (L) 14. Lakeside was 23-55 FGs.

FOURTH QUARTER

Lakeside 64, Garfield 51: Lions went up 19 on Bhatia's bucket with 5:22 to go. For a game Lakeside controlled, the way the Bulldogs got to the free-throw line, and cut it to 8 on two occasions, there was an opportunity for Bulldogs to steal this game. But two big baskets by Brown in final two minutes ended any Garfield comeback.

THIRD QUARTER

Lakeside 46, Garfield 34: What a four-minute stretch by Lakeside to start the second half, scoring on its first six possessions, capped by a Woodward 3-pointer, to grab a 40-26 lead at the 4:07 mark. Lions made eight of 11 field goals in the quarter overall.

SECOND QUARTER

Lakeside 27, Garfield 22: Lions closed with final seven points over 2:01 span. Roy has 10 points for Garfield.

FIRST QUARTER

Garfield 13, Lakeside 10: Bulldogs got off to 10-2 start. Bigger concern in ankle injury suffered by Lessig, the Bulldogs' best interior player. She went down after a bucket with 6:19 to go, and had to be helped off with left ankle injury.
