00:00It was a gritty performance for the Dallas Wings during their matchup against the Golden State

00:08Valkyries, failing to soar with the Valkyries taking over, final score 90-81. After a low-scoring

00:15first quarter shooting just 20% from the field, as well as key missing players missing from the

00:21lineup, including star wings guard Enrique Agumbawale out on a knee injury, Dallas fought

00:27back in the second half but failed to ever gain a lead. Now this marks the second victory for Golden

00:32State upon facing off against Dallas, both games being double-digit wins. I had the chance to speak

00:38with Dallas Wings forward guard Haley Jones about the absence of key players, as well as the young

00:43core and the development of chemistry on and off the floor. First to have had injuries that we've had

00:49and you know me coming late or whether it's Grace or Amy, all these great additions and still come

00:55out and play hard and compete every night. I think it says a lot to the culture that we're really

00:58trying to build here. Maddie Segrist finished with 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist for the Wings.

01:04For the Valkyries, Veronica Burton finished with a double-double, 25 points, 13 assists, and 5 rebounds.

01:11Dallas, 9-29 with just 6 games left, are back home Wednesday night to face off against the

01:17Connecticut Sun. Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m. Central Standard Time. For D210 Sports, I'm Kelsey McClure,
