“Pornpun is a monumental signing for the Valkyries,” said Amy Pauly, head coach of the Valkyries. “She is one of the top setters in the world and has competed against the best of the best. I’m excited to see what creativity she brings to our offense, and I know she will quickly become a fan favorite.”
“I am thrilled with Amy and her coaching staff for all the hard work and relentless efforts to secure Pornpun on our roster,” said George Manias, President and CEO of the Valkyries. “A player of this caliber playing abroad is hard to find and we are already a better team with this addition.
