, on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. But on Wednesday night, the Valkyries needed every bit of Chen’s big performance to get past the star-studded Dallas Wings.

Chen scored seven of her nine first-half points in the second quarter as she super charged a 19-0 run for Golden State. Dallas made things interesting in the second half.
Led by timely baskets from Azzi Fudd and Arike Ogunbowale, the Wings got within two points of the Valkyries’ lead in the fourth quarter. But the Valkyries responded as Chen and defensive stopper Kaila Charles hit big shots down the stretch to seal the win.
