The Golden State Valkyries just proved they’re not your typical new kid on the WNBA block. In a jaw-dropping performance that had Chase Center absolutely electric, the team decimated the reigning champion New York Liberty with a ruthless 66-58 victory.

Defense Is Their Love Language

With the precision of Silicon Valley engineers debugging code, the Valkyries dismantled the Liberty’s offense. Center Temi Fágbénlé wasn’t just playing - she was conducting a defensive masterclass, anchoring the team with a season-high 16 points and making the Liberty’s star players look like rookies.

Home Court Advantage: Activated

The team’s home court, lovingly dubbed “Ballhalla,” has become more than just a stadium - it’s a fortress of pure athletic energy. With 20 consecutive sellouts and a 13-7 home record, the Valkyries have transformed Chase Center into a place where opposing teams come to fear, not just play.

Writing Their Own Narrative

Head coach Natalie Nakase made it crystal clear: they’re not here to be another expansion team footnote. “We didn’t call ourselves an expansion team, the media did,” she declared. This isn’t just a team - it’s a movement, crafting their own story with every electrifying play.

With just four games left in the regular season, the Valkyries aren’t just hoping for a playoff spot - they’re positioning themselves as serious contenders. Buckle in, because this Bay Area squad is rewriting the WNBA playbook, one epic win at a time.
