<p>With six UCLA players drafted into the WNBA this season, <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-sky" target="_blank" >Sky</a> rookie <b>Gabriela Jaquez</b> rarely goes long without facing an old teammate. Last week, it was <b>Lauren Betts</b> and <b>Angela Dugalic</b> of the Mystics.</p><p>On Tuesday, it was her good friend <b>Kiki Rice</b>. Drafted by the Tempo one spot behind Jaquez at No. 6, Rice has had an impressive rookie season, running the offense and averaging 13.4 points.</p><p>But Jaquez won the matchup Tuesday night, scoring 18 points in the Sky’s 97-85 win over the Tempo.</p><p>“You can tell who she is every single time she steps on the floor,” Rice said of Jaquez. “She’s gonna play hard, she’s gonna find ways to score.</p><p>“She’s the kind of player you want on your team.”</p><p>Jaquez fell out of the Sky rotation midway through the season and averaged just seven points, so Rice owns the better stat line for the year.</p><p>But now that Jaquez is back in a starting role, she’s showed more of why the Sky bet on her, averaging 14 points in the last three games.</p><p><b>First timers</b></p><p>The Sky’s late-season focus on their younger players has given two recent additions a chance to play.</p><p>Development player <b>Morgan Maly</b> scored the first basket of her WNBA career against the Dream, then followed it with eight points and four rebounds against the Tempo.</p><p>“I’m just trying to come in here and learn and try to fit the system and what they want to do,” she told the Sun-Times before the game.</p><p><b>Kate Martin</b>, another development player whom the Sky picked up after the Sparks released her, also got her first minutes. The Edwardsville, Illinois native hit her first three in a Sky uniform and had her mom and her old trainer in the stands to watch her do it.</p>
