The Golden State Valkyries advanced to the WNBA Semifinals with a 77-73 victory over the Dallas Wings in Game 3 of their playoff series. This win gave them a 2-1 series victory and marked their first playoff series win in franchise history. The game took place at the Chase Center in San Francisco, where more than 18,000 fans watched the team battle through a tough match. Golden State trailed for much of the game, including a 37-44 deficit at halftime, but managed to come back in the final moments. Gabby Williams was key to the victory, scoring 19 points, with 11 of those coming in the final quarter. Her three-pointer with one minute and 17 seconds left gave the Valkyries a 73-72 lead, and she sealed the win with crucial free throws. This performance followed her personal best of 36 points in the previous game, showing her ability to perform under pressure. Other French players on the team, Janelle Salaün and Aminata Gueye, had limited roles in the game. Salaün scored 3 points in just 8 minutes of play, while Gueye did not see any action in Game 3. However, all three French players are expected to be part of the team's upcoming Semifinal series. The Golden State Valkyries will now face the Las Vegas Aces in the Semifinals. The Aces are the No. 3 seed and the reigning WNBA champions, led by A'ja Wilson, who was named the league's Most Valuable Player last season. The Semifinals will be a best-of-five series, starting on Sunday, October 4. The first two games will be held at the Chase Center in San Francisco. Meanwhile, the other Semifinal matchup will be between the New York Liberty and the Atlanta Dream.
