Tiffany Hayes rolled a season-high 21-digit route on three 3-pointers and rolled the Golden State Volcaries contained by local favorite Stephen Curry and Megan Rapino to go to Seattle Storm 84-57 on Sunday night in San Francisco.
Laeticia Amihere snatched a game-high rebound for a complement of 15 points, while Veronica Burton and Kate Martin, each drilled a pair of 3-platemers, with 15 and 11 points respectively, for Vulkiris (9-7), who completed 4-1 homestands with second convenient win.
A team-high for 18 points for the Skyler Digins Storm (10-7), who lost for the second time against the expansion club this season.
Burton’s first 3-pointer came as part of a game-opening 7-0 burst, giving the Golden State a lead, which would never sacrifice.
Pul-Dul gained a complete steam in the third quarter, despite an unknown injury by the top player Kayla Thornton. After the collision in the first minute of the period, Thornton left the court for the remaining game.
The major absence did not derail Valkyries, who scored 31 points in the 10-minute quarter, making a 65–44 lead. Burton hit 12 points in a hurry.
Hayes hit eight of its 13 shots from the field, leaving the Golden State dropped from 48.4 percent to 27 percent. The hosts excluded the storm 24–18 on 3-pointers, keeping Seattle beyond the 6-for-28 accuracy beyond the arc.
Burton had five rebounds, a team-high Five Assist and two blocks, which helped to add Vulcaries to an impressive homestand including a win over Indiana fever.
Digids shot 6 -for -13 for the storm, but his companions were harassed in a cumulative 14 -for -61. Digins also got time for game-hai six assistance with five rebounds.
Erica Wheeler had 13 points and Zia Cook added 10 to 10 from the bench to Seattle, opening a four game trip.
Storm star Naneka Ogwumike, a standout, was held for eight points in Stanford during his college days, the second youngest of the season. Take his season, his previous San Francisco Bay Area came to a return home when he scored six runs on 14 June.
