01
opener
Valkyries went into Mohegan Sun and took care of business. Never really felt close. Connecticut just couldn't buy a bucket.
02
key player
Veronica Burton ran the whole thing — 17 and 6 dimes. She was the best player on the floor by a mile.
03
hot take
Golden State's the real deal. 17-7 in year two? That's not a fluke, that's a legit contender.
04
deep cut
Connecticut got held to 64. Sitting at 5-18, that's a rough year down in the paint and everywhere else.
05
exit
Anyway, Valkyries are rolling — curious to see if they keep it up on the next road trip.
The recap
Golden State walked into Mohegan Sun and handed Connecticut a 79-64 beatdown, and it never really felt close. Veronica Burton ran the show with 17 points and 6 dimes, doing a little of everything while the Valkyries just ate the Sun up.
Connecticut couldn't buy a bucket all night — 64 points tells you everything, and Diamond Miller's 14 was as good as it got for them. Golden State's now 17-7 and rolling; the Sun drop to 5-18 and took another rough L at home.
