The game started with Julin Deblieck scoring for Lake Washington, setting the tone for their dominance throughout the match. Despite some initial scoring efforts from Kaleb DeHaan, the Wolves found themselves trailing 23-7 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, although Eastlake managed to score a few points through fouls, their defense continuously struggled against the Kangaroos' offensive pressure.
