Calvin Wetzel commented: *“Two months prior, it seemed impossible for the Valkyries to be favored on the road against the Aces, especially considering they were 12.5-point underdogs last time. They triumphed by 27 points then, and now riding an 8-4 record, they are showing significant improvement alongside a stellar defensive rating.”
