A Historic Achievement

Vandersloot entered the game needing a few points to overtake Quigley’s record of 3,273 points and 1,386 field goals made for the Sky. She tied the field goals record with a three-pointer midway through the second quarter and then surpassed the scoring mark with a pull-up jumper at 4:34 in the third quarter. Vandersloot finished the game with 13 points, nine assists, and four steals, bringing her career totals with the Sky to 3,728 points and 1,390 field goals.

Reflecting on the Journey

After the game, Vandersloot reflected on her journey with the Sky, stating, “What means the most is my time spent here. It just speaks to the commitment that I made to the Chicago Sky and their commitment to me as well. They drafted me and let me develop. We had a lot of tough seasons. It wasn’t always easy.”

Vandersloot’s tenure with the Sky has been marked by consistent excellence. She previously set the WNBA single-game assist record with 18 and became the first player in league history to average 10 assists per game over a season.

A Team Effort

The Sky’s victory over the Wings was bolstered by a career-high 23 points from rookie Kamilla Cardoso. Angel Reese contributed six points, nine rebounds, and five assists, including a crucial basket that gave the Sky the lead for good at 93-92 with 1:21 remaining.

Despite a season-high 37 points from Dallas’ Arike Ogunbowale, the Sky managed to close the game with a 6-0 run, securing their first win of the season and improving their record to 1-4.

Looking Ahead

Vandersloot’s milestone is not just a personal achievement but also a testament to her enduring impact on the franchise. As the Sky continue their season, her leadership and experience will be invaluable assets to a team integrating new talents like Cardoso and Reese.

The Sky will look to build on this momentum as they face upcoming challenges in the competitive WNBA landscape.
