Two states, two very different results.

Coupeville grads Makana Stone and Kailey Kellner both hit the college hardwood Saturday, but one of their teams had a much better night.

Playing in Oregon, Stone and Whitman College crushed host Pacific University 76-52, while Kellner and D’Youville College came out on the short end in Pennsylvania, falling 90-67 to Penn State-Altoona.

Stone:

The Blues are ranked #2 in the most-recent NCAA D-III poll, and they had little trouble with their hosts.

Stone, who entered the night as Whitman’s #2 scorer and #1 rebounder, filled up the stat sheet with five points, seven rebounds, a team-high six assists and a steal.

Mady Burdett dropped in 16 to pace the Blues, who won their 20th straight and now sit at 12-0 in Northwest Conference play, 20-1 overall.

Kellner:

D’Youville is watching its playoff hopes slip away, as a a four-game skid has dropped the Spartans into ninth place in the 10-team Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference.

The top six teams make the postseason, and D’Youville (4-10 in league, 5-15 overall) is two games back with four to play.

Kellner, a freshman, used her floor time well Saturday, collecting two points, three rebounds, three assists and a blocked shot.
