The Golden State Valkyries (16-7) visit the Connecticut Sun (5-17) for a 2026 WNBA regular season matchup on Friday, July 10, at Mohegan Sun Arena.
These teams have faced each other once this season, with the Valkyries dominating on a 97-70 victory. Golden State's defense held Connecticut to a measly 38.6 shooting from the field, and forced them to commit 18 turnovers. Gabby Williams led the Valkyries with her 15 points.
Winning is the only thing that's been on the Valkyries' mind recently. They have won six straight games, including a recent 83-75 victory over the Toronto Tempo. Prior to that, they held the Washington Mystics to only 49 total points in a defensive-minded 13-point win.
The Valkyries are decent on offense, as they rank average in the league in offensive rating (8th). But it's on the other end of the floor where they're doing excellent work. Golden State currently ranks 2nd in defensive rating (101.8).
Meanwhile, the Sun have been surprisingly good as of late, winning three of their last five games. They split their mini-series with the Minnesota Lynx, which is an impressive feat of its own.
Still, the Sun lags behind the Valkyries on both ends. They rank dead last in offensive rating (100.5) and 12th in defensive rating (108.9). They have lots of work to do to catch up with the balanced Valkyries.
