Emily Engstler Top Points vs. Golden State Valkyries, 06/02/2026

For the fire.

She was terrific in their last victory over Indiana this weekend.

A double-double with 18 points.

Axler can hit that.

She continues to shoot it at a high clip.

In the corner, and on the other side, Carla Leite initiating the offense to get that three.

There's so many open gaps with this defense right now.

Looks like once they throw that second person, they're more into a match-up zone.

Axler with those two fouls, working against Charles, goes up and over off the backboard.

You can just tell they have a different type of focus coming into tonight's game.

Salona Thornton each with 11 points, that's the team high.

Axler pump fakes, sets her feet, looking for the three.

She's able to thread it.

So Portland yet to hit a three in this quarter.

They had 14 on the night coming in.

Axler, the catch, the finish.

The lead is now single digits
