Arlington, TX - The Dallas Wings fell to the Golden State Valkyries 90-81 on Sunday afternoon in front of a sold-out crowd at College Park Center. Five Wings scored in double figures headlined by Maddy Siegrist's 16 points, five rebounds, three steals, one block and one assist. Grace Berger followed with a season-high 11 points and Amy Okonkwo added 12 points, three rebounds, two assists and a steal in just her second career game. With the result, Dallas falls to 9-29 on the season as Golden State improves to 19-18. The sellout was the eighth of 2025 for the Wings and seventh of the regular season.
