Janelle Salaun and Kyla Thornton break down a gutsy road win that extended the Valkyries' winning streak to six games. Janelle opens up in French before switching to English — crediting the defense for getting everything going, including the team's game plan to hold Marina Mabrey without a field goal until late in the fourth quarter. Then she talks about those back-to-back threes she hit in the fourth, both assisted by Veronica Burton, and the fighter mentality that defines this team. Kyla Thornton explains what the Valkyries are learning about themselves on the road: how to find energy without the home crowd, play through adversity, and most importantly — not break mentally when things get tough.
