Not the direction they want to be headed in.
It became a lost weekend for the D’Youville College women’s basketball team, which took a severe hit in its efforts to nab a playoff spot after dropping back-to-back games to teams behind them in the standings.
After losing a fourth-quarter lead in an overtime loss Saturday, the Spartans absorbed a much-more substantial drubbing Sunday, falling 90-54 to visiting Penn State-Altoona.
The loss leaves D’Youville sitting at 4-8 in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference, 5-14 overall.
In a league where the top six schools make the postseason, the Spartans sit in a seventh-place tie, two games out of sixth with six to play.
The outlook isn’t especially bright, either, as D’Youville is 1-5 this year against its remaining opponents.
Sunday, despite strong supporting work from Coupeville grad Kailey Kellner, the Spartans fell behind early and never recovered.
A 29-10 Penn State run in the second quarter was a crippler, essentially turning the second half into an afterthought.
Kellner, a freshman, finished with three rebounds and an assist.
On the season, she has 46 points, 48 rebounds, 21 assists, eight steals and three blocks.
