"That was magical! You know, I knew from the start. I was like, 'No, we're going to take it and we're going to go all the way,' " she exclaimed, with a big smile.
Due to a scheduling conflict at Chase Center in San Francisco, the first home game will take place 54 miles south, at the SAP Center in San Jose.
The Valkyries' court is portable. It's made with interlocking panels that can be taken apart and reassembled like a giant jigsaw puzzle.
Each panel weighs about 400 pounds. Once the playoff schedules at SAP are known, a team of 8 to 12 people at SAP will reassemble the court. It takes an estimated 4 and a half hours to put it back together.
The Valkyries play on a hardwood using a custom chevron pattern.
But what makes the Connor court even more special is how the company approaches timber harvesting.
The company makes its playing floors from maple wood. Maple is very durable, very dense, and very hard wood.
The company developed ways to use maple more sustainably. They work with several different timber companies and rotate crops and different forests so that there is no overharvesting. In addition, the company says it uses every single piece of wood responsibly.
"Nothing goes to waste, and we're very mindful of that, and we're also very proud," Riberdy said.
"We're the Bay Area," Wilson said. "You know we're about sustainability and creating ways to improve the environment,"
Connor Sports also built the courts for the NCAA Men's and Women's final four and March Madness tournaments, as well as the court for the Golden State Warriors.
