The Valkyries collected their 18th victory of the season on Friday night, routing the Chicago Sky after a dominant third-quarter surge. The first-year franchise shot 52% from beyond the arc and led by as many as 25 points, extending its winning streak to four games. The result gives the team the most wins ever recorded by a WNBA expansion club, eclipsing the 17 amassed by the 1998 Detroit Shock. With the milestone triumph, the Valkyries move past the Indiana Fever into sixth place, improving their prospects of reaching the playoffs in their inaugural campaign.
