From a win to a winning streak.
Sparked by Coupeville grad Kailey Kellner, the D’Youville College women’s basketball squad rolled Wednesday to its second-straight victory.
Beating Penn State-Behrend 62-45 on the road in Erie, PA, the Spartans improved to 2-4 on the season.
The win was also noteworthy for being D’Youville coach Dan Glover’s 50th career win, and for coming in the team’s first Allegeheny Mountain Collegiate Conference tilt.
The Spartans came out strongly, grabbing a 15-9 lead after the first quarter, then steadily pulled away from there.
Kellner, a freshman making her third start, dropped in all five of her points during a crucial run to end the first half.
Penn State had cut the lead down to five, but with the former Wolf knocking down a three-ball and another bucket, D’Youville closed the half on a 10-5 run.
Kellner was a busy bee all game, also picking up two steals, three rebounds and a team-high four assists.
For the season, she sits with 30 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists and five steals.
D’Youville will try and stretch its winning streak to three Saturday, when it hosts Mt. Aloysius in a league game.
