Valkyries’ Kate Martin Ignites Victory with Key 3-Pointer

UPDATE: The Golden State Valkyries secured a crucial 75-63 victory against the Indiana Fever on August 31, 2025, at Chase Center in San Francisco. In a tense fourth quarter, Kate Martin delivered a game-changing moment, sinking a deep 3-pointer that energized the crowd and shifted momentum decisively.

As the Valkyries’ lead dwindled from 20 points to just 5, Martin took control. With just under seven minutes left in the game, she launched a shot from 24 feet while drawing contact, sending the arena into a frenzy. Fans erupted, high-fiving and cheering, creating an electric atmosphere that echoed throughout the venue.

The shot not only ignited the crowd but also sparked a critical 20-13 run for the Valkyries, sealing their eighth win of the season in front of their 19th sellout crowd. Coach Natalie Nakase praised Martin’s ability to create “momentum plays,” emphasizing her impact on the game and the pressure it puts on opponents.

Martin, who averaged 9.8 points in the last five games, has stepped up significantly due to injuries affecting key players. Known for her shooting prowess, her ability to rally the crowd makes every shot feel more significant. “You can kind of say that it puts a little bit of pressure on the opponent when that happens,” Nakase noted.

Fans showed immense support for Martin, with many sporting her black and gold Iowa jerseys. The presence of former Iowa stars, including George Kittle, highlighted her popularity and the deep-rooted connection she maintains with her fanbase.

Despite facing challenges early in her career with the Valkyries, including bench time and shooting slumps, Martin has emerged as a key player. Her “family shots,” a term used by the team for high-quality looks, have been instrumental in her growth and contribution to the squad.

Reflecting on the game, Martin expressed gratitude for the supportive crowd, saying, “As a shooter that makes you feel extra confident and want to keep shooting whenever you hear how excited they get.”

As the Valkyries continue their playoff push, fans are eager to see how Martin’s performances will shape the remainder of the season. Expect more thrilling moments from this rising star as she leads her team toward potential playoff glory.
