The Golden State Valkyries capped a flawless five-game road trip with an 88-75 victory over the Indiana Fever, pushing their winning streak to an impressive eight games and solidifying their position as a top contender in the WNBA.

This historic achievement marks only the second time in WNBA history a team has completed a 5-0 road trip of five or more games, showcasing the Valkyries' remarkable cohesion and dominance away from home.

The Golden State Valkyries proved their mettle on the road, concluding a demanding five-game swing with a decisive 88-75 win against the Indiana Fever. The victory on July 15, 2026, not only extended their franchise-record winning streak to eight consecutive games but also etched their name in WNBA history as only the second team ever to go undefeated on a five-game or longer road trip.

The team’s success has propelled them into second place in the WNBA standings, a significant feat for a second-year franchise. Their ability to maintain high performance across multiple cities on the opposite side of the continent, from Atlanta to Toronto, underscores their growing chemistry and resilience.

Head Coach Natalie Nakase emphasized the importance of team bonding during their travels. "We’re getting closer and closer together. We utilized this road trip to actually bond and become more closer, tighter knit, because when you’re on the road you don’t really have your own schedule," Nakase told reporters after the win. She added, "We do everything together… I just enjoy spending so much time with every player, every staff member. That’s what I feel like we’re building."
