In the last three minutes of the third quarter of the preseason game between the Chicago Sky and the Minnesota Lynx, Sky rookie Hailey Van Lith stole the ball from Lynx forward Naphessa Collier and ran across the court to score.

Out of halftime, Van Lith scored five, Ariel Atkins added four, and Rebecca Allen chipped in three to keep the Sky close, despite a 13-point explosion from Collier for the Lynx. Chicago trailed by just three heading into the fourth.

Van Lith is part of a stacked Sky backcourt that includes five-time All-Star Courtney Vandersloot, two-time All-Star Ariel Atkins, and 2019 All-Star Kia Nurse. All four are new arrivals, although Vandersloot played in Chicago from 2011-22 and helped it win the 2021 WNBA Finals.
