Kayla Thornton Shines Two-Way

Kayla Thornton turned heads Wednesday night, exploding for 17 points—including 5 threes—while anchoring the Valkyries’ defense against Angel Reese, holding her to just 10 points.

She led the team with a +15 rating, hit clutch shots late, and showed she’s finding her rhythm in a demanding small-ball role—proving her two-way impact is real and vital.
