The Chicago Sky secured its first win on its most-recent five-game road trip with an 86-79 victory over the Atlanta Dream in a game that saw four Sky players record double-digit scoring totals.

Sky forward Candace Parker moved to 11th all-time in career assists with a dish to teammate Courtney Vandersloot at the 6:20-minute mark in the first quarter. Against the Dream, Parker led the Sky with 9 rebounds (all defensive).

Tonight, Sky guard Allie Quigley led the team in minutes played (35:14), field goals made (8), field goal percentage (72.7%), three-pointers made (3), three-point conversion rate (100%) and points (21).

With her 12-point, 10-rebound performance, Vandersloot recorded another double-double en route to the Sky's win. In addition, she crossed the 1,000 career rebounds total, as she needed just five boards entering tonight's contest to reach the milestone.

NEXT UP: The Sky continue its late-August road trip and head to the Emerald City to face the Seattle Storm for a two-game series, with the first game set for Friday, August 27. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. CT (7:00 p.m. WT) and Sky fans can watch the game on The U/ NBA TV.
