The Chicago Sky will face the Seattle Storm at Allstate Arena on Sunday, September 6 with tip-off set for 5:00 pm CT. The Sky lead the season series 1-0 and look to complete a season-sweep of the Storm this weekend. The team will build off the momentum of an exciting win over the top-ranked New York Liberty.

Chicago and Seattle’s first meeting of the season occurred in an August 14 West coast road trip for the Sky. Courtney Vandersloot and Elena Delle Donne scored 21 points apiece in Chicago’s 94-84 victory. Jessica Breland recorded a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Cappie Pondexter and Erika de Souza also tallied double-digit points adding 13 each.

The August 14 contest marked the first time that Markeisha Gatling faced her former team. Gatling was waived by the Sky prior to the start of the 2015 regular season, but signed with the Storm a few days later. Gatling scored 16 points off the bench, leading her team in the recent game. Alysha Clark and Crystal Langhorne each added 13 points for Seattle.

For the second time this season the first and second ranked players in assists per game will go head-to-head in this matchup. Vandersloot leads the league with 5.8 assists per game. Sue Bird is close behind with 5.3 assists per game. Both players dished out eight assists in the August 14 game, so it will be interesting to see who records the most on Sunday.

Chicago will need to be aggressive in the frontcourt in order to secure a victory on Sunday. In the last matchup of these teams, the Sky narrowly outscored the Storm in points in the paint 42-40. The team will look to players such as Delle Donne, Breland and de Souza to take control under the basket. Additionally, the teams were close in rebounding with Chicago grabbing 38 rebounds to Seattle’s 31. Strong performances in these areas will lead the Sky to success in this contest.
