- Dominique Malonga led Seattle with 26 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in the victory while reaching her 300th career rebound and becoming the youngest player to do so.
- Natisha Hiedeman supplied 18 points and nine assists and Zia Cooke added 16 off the bench as Seattle built a 47-33 halftime lead and held off a late Chicago run.
- DiJonai Carrington returned from a recent ejection to score a career-high 26 points off the bench and made all 10 of her free throws, but Chicago could not finish the comeback.
