WNBA player Courtney Vandersloot scores ultimate victory over her wife (and teammate!)
By JAKE NISSE
Chicago Sky guard Courtney Vandersloot set a record on Thursday night - at the expense of her wife and longtime teammate.
Vandersloot, who tallied 13 points and nine assists in a win against the Dallas Wings, became Chicago's all-time leader in points (3,728) and field goals (1,390).
And the previous record holder was none other than her wife, Allie Quigley, who spent 10 seasons with Chicago from 2013 to 2022 - her last year in the WNBA.
Vandersloot has also spent the majority of her career with the Sky after being drafted by the franchise in 2011.
The now five-time All-Star spent the first 12 seasons of her career in the Midwest before joining the Liberty for two seasons.
She re-signed with the Sky in February.

While Vandersloot has now overtaken her wife's record, the couple made tons of memories together on the Sky, as they spent 10 seasons as teammates.
In 2021, both were a vital part of a championship-winning team, while they were both also All-Stars in 2019.
The pair, who were married in 2018, reportedly met in 2013 while traveling back to the US from Europe, where both were playing during the WNBA offseason.
According to Sports Illustrated, they were on the same flight and even in the same limousine to Sky physicals, with Quigley hoping to earn a roster spot after getting a training camp invite.
They began dating the following September - after that year's WNBA season had concluded - and ultimately got married seven years ago in Seattle.
The Sky earned their first win of the season on Wednesday with their victory, and Kamilla Cardoso led the team with 23 points.
