This episode highlights one of the Valkyries’ real-deal anchors: Kayla Thornton, wearing jersey #5. She’s an incredible defender and an experienced vet. Best accomplishment this year is that she was voted to be on the 2025 All Star team!

From going undrafted to grinding her way through Washington, Dallas and New York, we are thrilled that Kayla’s journey brought her to the Bay.

Tune in as we discuss why she's the best. We love Kayla Thornton! 🏀🔥🖤💜
