INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Fever (9-10) dropped an 80-61 loss to the Golden State Valkyries at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday afternoon.

Indiana was in front throughout much of the first quarter, leading 23-14 with 1:50 left on the clock, but a 7-0 run from the Valkyries made it a two-point game in favor of the home team. The Valkyries overtook the Fever in the second quarter, holding Indiana to just nine points in the second quarter to take a 41-32 lead.

The Fever pulled in the game within five points in the third quarter, but were unable to overcome the deficit, as Golden State's defense stymied Indiana's offense and led to the visitor's eventual win.

- Damiris Dantas, who missed the past five games while competing at the FIBA Women's AmeriCup with Brazil, saw her first minutes at 7:05 in the third quarter.
