The Chicago Sky continue to struggle to start the WNBA season, having suffered a blowout loss to the Indiana Fever.

Chicago fell to 2-5 on the season after losing to the Fever, 79-52. The Sky were seemingly finding a rhythm, winning back-to-back games before they faced the Dallas Wings.

Head coach Tyler Marsh started her tenure with the Sky on the wrong foot, losing four straight games to start the season. The Sky tied their franchise record worst start to a season and have now lost two games to the Fever.

They opened the season with a 93-58 loss to the Indiana Fever.

After their most recent defeat, Marsh spoke with the media, where he admitted that changes need to be made and it starts with him, who's viewed as the leader of the team.

"We all got to step up and be better and that starts with me," Marsh said, per Karli Bell. "I got to be better for our players."
