Son of a *****, they stole Morgan, too!

Hearing Jaime Coffee and Morgan during a Not!Monarchs game is bittersweet as hell.

Valkyries got their first win in franchise history last night, tying the 2000 Miami Sol and the 2000 Portland Fire** for the fourth-fastest expansion team to get their first win. The 1999 Minnesota Lynx, 2000 Indiana Fever** and 2006 Chicago Sky all won their first-ever game.



**It bears acknowledging that the Portland Fire and Indiana Fever both got their first-ever wins against another expansion team.

The Portland Fire...Man, that brings back some memories...I remember having such high hopes for Jackie Stiles once she came into the league, but, unfortunately, injuries derailed her professional basketball career.

Valkyries survived a late rally from the Los Angeles Sparks to get their first-ever road win and improve to 2-1.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Valkyries get their biggest win of the season, beating the dog**** out of reigning MVP A'ja Wilson and the 2x Champion Las Vegas Aces on national television.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Valkyries got their third win in a row last night and their fifth win on the season, evening their record at 5-5. The last expansion team to enter the league (Atlanta Dream) didn't get their fifth win until Game 1 of their second season.

Only one expansion team (Detroit Shock, now known as the Dallas Wings) has ever finished with a winning record in their inaugural season.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

The Valkyries are relentless.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Valkyries are 7-6. They are only the fifth expansion team to have a winning record at any point of their inaugural season.

Three of the previous four teams finished their inaugural season with a losing record.
