The Valkyries escaped Seattle — but it wasn't pretty. After a first half that nobody on the team was proud of, Salaün and Williams stepped to the mic and didn't sugarcoat it. The message was simple: that wasn't us, and we can't keep waiting until the second half to show up.
Salaün acknowledged the slow start but pointed to the team's ability to grind through it — surviving a late comeback attempt and finding a way to close. Williams was direct: more energy from the jump, less relying on the offense to carry the load.
The Valkyries have shown they can compete. Now the question is whether they can put together a full game.
