Kate Martin's Behavior During Valkyries Game Turns Heads on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Golden State Valkyries, the newest expansion team in the WNBA this season, took a respectable 2-3 record into Sunday's game against the Minnesota Lynx, who nearly won the league championship last year. Advertisement They played the Lynx, who came in with an undefeated record, to a standstill in the first half. But the Lynx overpowered them afterward and held them to just 23 second-half points en route to an 86-75 victory. Guard Kate Martin, who is in her second season out of Iowa, scored 14 efficient points, which was a new career-high, in 19 minutes off the bench. At one point in the game, she was seen snacking on the bench. Fans on X reacted to this interesting action. "Looks like a Stroopwafel or Uncrustable," one fan responded. "Pretty sure it's the sweet stuff but not positive. What do y'all think?" "Low sugar?" another fan asked. "Kate is hungry after going off," a third fan wrote. "An uncrustable helps me feel better too," a fourth fan wrote. "Seems like some people have grown their games in the offseason, she's one of them," a fifth fan wrote. "Kate's handle is better, and so is her footwork. She seems more athletic, too." "She's a baller!" another fan wrote. Playing a pro basketball game is very demanding, and athletes will lose at least a few points during a game. According to the Gatorade Sports Science Institute, players can intake a sports bar, sports chews or even foods such as oranges during games to replace nutrients that have been lost.

She developed into a strong 3-point shooter, and she averaged 13.1 points and 6.8 rebounds a game while shooting 50.7% from the field in her final season with the Hawkeyes.
