Ten Game Recap
 Image Created By: The Golden Bay Times Graphics Dept. Alyssa Thomas #25 & Veronica Burton #22 | • SUN MAY 10, 2026 • Valkyries Turn the Mercury Into Road Dust Golden State Valkyries (95) vs Phoenix Mercury (79) San Francisco, CA - Golden State looked like a team already enjoying its second act, beating Phoenix 95-79 behind a bench spark, a ruthless second-quarter swing, and the kind of defensive pressure that makes an opponent start checking over both shoulders. Janelle Salaün led the charge with 21 points on 7-of-10 shooting, drilling 4 of 5 from deep and giving the Valkyries another early-season jolt. Gabby Williams and Kayla Thornton each added 19 points, with Thornton fueling the takeover as Golden State flipped an early 20-13 hole into control with a 33-8 run. The second quarter became the whole story, as the Valkyries outscored Phoenix 31-11 and shot 13-of-19 from the floor. Veronica Burton played traffic cop beautifully, finishing with 13 points, 12 assists, and zero turnovers, while Laeticia Amihere added 13 points, six rebounds, five assists, and three blocks. Golden State forced 17 turnovers, earned its first-ever win over Phoenix, and moved to 2-0 with a performance that felt less like a hot start and more like a warning.

Natisha Hiedeman #2 & Miela Sowah #7 | • FRI MAY 8, 2026 • Valkyries Win Their Season Opener with Flair Golden State Valkyries (91) @ Seattle Storm (80) Seattle, WA - The Golden State Valkyries turned a tight start into a road statement, beating the Seattle Storm 91-80 after using a sharp second-half surge to take control. Seattle opened with early threes from Joyner Holmes, Dominique Malonga and Erica Wheeler’s setup work, but Golden State never let the night drift away. The first quarter ended with the Valkyries down just 24-23, and by halftime they had flipped the game, 49-41, behind Veronica Burton’s steady attack, Kayla Thornton’s timely shooting and a defense that kept forcing Seattle into rough possessions. The third quarter was where Golden State grabbed the wheel. Janelle Salaun, Julie Vanloo Chen and Thornton helped stretch the lead to 69-53, while Temi Fagbenle Stokes protected the paint with key blocks. Seattle kept swinging late as Malonga finished strong with 21 points, but the Valkyries had too many answers. Salaun poured in 20 points, including three fourth-quarter daggers from deep, Burton added 16 points and six assists, Chen sparked the bench with 14, and Golden State closed with calm free throws and a clean 91-80 finish.
