Hold onto your Bay Area sports merch, because the Golden State Valkyries just dropped the mic in their debut season! 🏀

A Victory Against All Odds

In a nail-biting showdown that had fans on the edge of their seats, Veronica Burton emerged as the absolute queen of clutch, scoring a jaw-dropping 22 points and leading her team to a heart-stopping 76-74 victory against the Washington Mystics.

Breaking Barriers and Dropping Threes

Burton wasn’t just playing - she was making statements. With Stephen Curry-like precision, she banked in a long-range 3-pointer right before halftime that had the Chase Center absolutely erupting. Her performance wasn’t just a win; it was a declaration that the Valkyries have arrived.

Team Spirit and Debut Drama

The night wasn’t without drama. Tiffany Hayes took a hit that sent her to the locker room, but her teammates rallied. Janelle Salaun, fresh off an Italian League title, made her WNBA debut with a killer 10-point performance. Kayla Thornton’s four-point play and the raucous crowd, including Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski’s dance moves, turned this game into an unforgettable moment of Bay Area sports history.

Streamers rained down, the crowd went wild, and the Golden State Valkyries proved they’re not just an expansion team - they’re a force to be reckoned with. Game. Set. Valkyrie victory! 🏆
