Since both Streimikyte and Brazdeikyte have retired, Sandra is now the face of the national team. At the 2002 World Championship, she became an indisputable starter in the backcourt and she has never looked back. What makes her so unique is her versatility. Her first game last summer during the qualifying tournament is a pretty good example of what she's capable of. Against Israel, she went for eight points, four assists, two steals and 16 rebounds! Not bad for someone listed at 176cm. It shows how big a heart she has and how determined she is when she steps on to the court. Offensively, she's particularly dangerous when she's driving to the hole, because she's both a good finisher and an excellent passer. Whether she's going in trying to get the "and 1" or setting her teammates up, she means trouble for the defense every time she gets into the lane. She can play either guard spots, and even though three-point shooting is not her forte, she was extremely efficient during the Qualifying Round. After eight years of EuroLeague Women play with TEO Vilnius, Valuzyte chose to follow her former coach Algirdas Paulauskas and join Dynamo Kursk. In EuroCup Women play - where the team reached the Semi-Finals against Galatasaray - , she finished as the leading passer and stealer of the ball, as well as the third best scorer and rebounder of her team, despite playing only 26 minutes per game.
