Allie Quigley, born on June 20, 1986 in Joliet, Illinois, is a professional basketball player who has made a name for herself in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She was drafted in the second round of the 2008 WNBA Draft by the Phoenix Mercury after a successful college career at DePaul University.
Before her WNBA career took off, Quigley was already making waves in the basketball world. She was a standout player at Joliet Catholic Academy, earning WBCA All-American honors and showcasing her talent in the 2004 WBCA High School All-America Game.
Quigley's skills on the court caught the attention of the Chicago Sky, where she played a key role in helping the team reach the WNBA Finals for the first time in franchise history in 2014. Her impressive performance off the bench earned her the title of Sixth Woman of the Year, a feat she would accomplish again in 2015.

Quigley comes from a family with a strong basketball background. Her mother, Christine, was a hall of fame basketball player at St. Francis, while her father, Pat, was a multi-sport coach at Lincoln-Way Central High.
