Chicago Sky News Release


CHICAGO - The Chicago Sky selected Texas A&M guard Aicha Coulibaly (ay-EE-shuh Kool-i-Ball-EE) with the 22nd overall pick in the second round of the 2025 WNBA Draft.

"Aicha Coulibaly is a strong perimeter defender and elite slasher, making her a good fit for us," Sky General Manager Jeff Pagliocca said. "We're excited to add such a dynamic player on both sides of the ball at this point in the draft."

In five collegiate seasons across stints with Auburn and Texas A&M, Coulibaly averaged 13.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks across 127 appearances (110 starts). She's a two-time Second Team All-SEC team (2021-22 & 2022-23) member.

Coulibaly began her career at Auburn, starting seven games in her freshman season and averaging 5.1 points. She broke out in her sophomore season, recording 17.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.2 steals.

She transferred to Texas A&M in her fourth season, averaging 13.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.3 steals. Coulibaly helped Texas A&M snap a two-year streak of missing the NCAA Tournament that year.

She appeared in 19 games in her final collegiate season, averaging 12.8 points and 5.0 rebounds.
