The Chicago Sky got their third win of the season on Sunday as they defeated the Connecticut Sun on the road, sparking hope for better days ahead after a rough start to the season.

The Sky's big victory included a stellar performance from Angel Reese, who recorded the second triple double of the WNBA season in a winning effort in Connecticut.

Reese had 11 points, 11 assists and 13 rebounds, showing off her diverse array of passing skills while continuing to dominate on the glass.

Recently, the Sky star took issue with fans who began utilizing the phrase "mebound" to describe Reese's tendency to miss her own shot and grab her own rebounds.

Reese currently leads the league in offensive rebounds, but remains behind two WNBA stars in the defensive rebounding totals.

Reese currently ranks second in defensive rebounds per game with 7.1, tied for the third spot in the WNBA with Azura Stevens of the Los Angeles Sparks.

She is now .4 defensive rebounds per game behind A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces for second place and 1.3 defensive rebounds behind Jonquel Jones of the New York Liberty, who is in first place with 8.4 defensive rebounds per game.

Reese's position on the DREB charts is included alongside her league best 4.8 offensive rebounds per game, which places her 1.3 offensive rebounds ahead of second place player Brionna Jones of the Dream.

The Sky star leads the league in overall rebounding with 11.9 per game, 1.6 ahead of Jonquel Jones heading toward the meat of the WNBA schedule.
