The Golden State Valkyries faced off against the defending WNBA champions, the New York Liberty, on Tuesday. They dropped the first of back-to-back games in New York, 95-67, bringing their record to an even 2-2 on their season.

The New York Liberty smothered the Golden State Valkyries on Tuesday night’s home game, moving to 4-0 for the third time in franchise history. After building a 20-point lead by the early second quarter, the rest of the game was a war with boredom featuring semi-successful efforts from the Liberty to maintain their focus.
