What happened

Hayes supplied the leading scoring performance in the win while contributing in several other areas. In addition to her 22 points, she helped the Valkyries with six rebounds and five assists, giving the team production beyond her scoring total.

Hayes also added three steals, completing a broad statistical performance as the Valkyries kept their run intact. The victory pushed the team’s winning streak to five games and continued its momentum during the league’s Rivals Week schedule.

Why it matters

The Valkyries’ five-game run strengthens their position during this stretch of the 2026 regular season. Sustaining that run through a Rivals Week game gives the team another result to build on as it moves toward its next matchup.

Hayes’ performance was central to the latest victory. She led every scorer while also contributing as a rebounder, facilitator and source of steals, providing value across each of the statistical categories included in her final line.

By the numbers

Hayes produced 36 combined points, rebounds, assists and steals. Her 22 points accounted for the largest share of that total, while her six rebounds, five assists and three steals combined for the remaining 14.

The scoring mark placed Hayes at the top of the game, but the full line shows the range of her contribution. She recorded at least three in each of the four listed categories, with her work outside the scoring column adding directly to a performance that drove the Valkyries’ fifth straight win.

What to watch next

The Valkyries will try to extend the streak in their next game. A sixth consecutive victory would continue the momentum they have established during this regular-season stretch, with the team carrying forward a run that has now reached five.

Hayes will remain a key player to watch after setting the scoring pace in this win. Her combination of points, rebounds, assists and steals gave the Valkyries production in multiple areas during Rivals Week and established the standard from their latest victory.
