Despite shooting the Valkyries back into the game, Julie Vanloo’s three fourth-quarter turnovers turned out to be costly for the Valkyries as they attempted to make a run in the final period. Vanloo ended the night with a team-high six turnovers while dishing out two assists.

The Valkyries recovered behind 13 first half points from starting center Temi Fagbenle. The 6-foot-4 center had 13 points, which included hitting two of her three 3-point attempts, to lead Golden State in the first half. Prior to Friday’s game, Fagbenle had just three made 3s in her WNBA career.
