Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky suffered their sixth loss of the season, bowing to the New York Liberty in blowout fashion, 85-66.

Reese had a historic performance for Chicago. She recorded her 30th career double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds, making her the fastest player to reach the mark. It took her only 42 games to achieve the double-double feat, surpassing Tina Charles' record of 47 games.

Despite her efforts, though, the Sky never led in the contest and even trailed by as many as 34 points.

Only Reese and Ariel Atkins (11 points) scored in double figures for Chicago, while New York saw Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart and Kennedy Burke score in double digits and combine for 56 points.

Following the ugly loss, Reese didn't seem bothered by their struggles this 2025 season. While she admitted in her postgame presser that they need to improve defensively if they want to turn things around, her first social media post shows that she's not letting the on-court stuff affect her off it.

On her Instagram Stories, Reese shared a post from the LSU Tigers, her college team, celebrating her win as the Sportswoman of the Year from the BET Awards.

While the Sky forward didn't write a caption, it's clear she's appreciative of the recognition. She also liked the post from LSU.

Angel Reese has now won the said Sportswoman award for the third straight year, so it's not surprising why she's ecstatic about it. She beat fellow nominees such as A’ja Wilson, Claressa Shields, Coco Gauff, Dawn Staley, Flau'jae Johnson, Juju Watkins, Sha'Carri Richardson and Simone Biles for the honor.

As for her WNBA season, Reese and the Sky fell to 2-6 following their latest loss. They will face the Atlanta Dream next on Friday.
