Former Chicago Sky guard Allie Quigley was inducted into DePaul's Hall of Fame, the University announced in a Friday tweet.

She would be inducted into the school's Hall of Fame alongside a handful of other DePaul standouts, according to Chicago Sun-Times Sky reporter Annie Costabile. DePaul had announced its inductee class three months before. Quigley joined the likes of 3-time NBA All-Star Mark Aguirre, former Chicago Bulls center David Corzine and a foundational superstar for the NBA in center George Mikan in DePaul's Hall of Fame. Long-time DePaul women's basketball head coach Doug Bruno, who coached Quigley during her time with the Blue Demons, was inducted into its Hall of Fame in 1993.

Quigley, a Joliet native and 3-time WNBA All-Star, carved out an illustrious 4-year career with DePaul before being selected by the Seattle Storm in the 2008 WNBA Draft. She suited up for the Blue Demons from 2004-08, where she earned three All-Big East and one All-Conference USA selections. DePaul would make the NCAA tournament in every one of her four years. She played alongside her sister, now-Southern Illinois University Edwardsville head coach Samantha Quigley Smith, during her junior season.

Allie Quigley first signed with the Sky in 2013, where she proved to be an effective option from the 3-point line. She is the Sky's all-time leader in 3-point makes with 504 and total points with just over 3,700. The four-time winner of the WNBA's 3-point contest played a monumental role in leading the Sky to its first league championship in 2021. She last suited up for the Sky in 2022, when Chicago went 26-10 in the regular season and made the WNBA Semifinals.

Quigley joins a handful of current and former Sky players who have gained recognition in the offseason.

Sky center Kamilla Cardoso earned the Women's Chinese Basketball Association's Player of the Week last month as she continued to excel with Shanghai Swordfish. Chicago guard Chennedy Carter, who is a restricted free agent for the Sky, has earned the honors four times. Former Sky center Sylvia Fowles, a teammate of Quigley's from 2013-14, was announced as a nominee for the Naismith Hall of Fame last month.
