ST. THOMAS, VIRGIN ISLANDS - Brittany Ray scored a career-high 27 points to help Rutgers upset No. 19 Mississippi State 62-54 on Friday in the Paradise Jam.

Rutgers (2-4) trailed the Lady Bulldogs (4-2) 7-4 early before going ahead for good with a 15-2 run.

"Brittany just refused to lose. Her mindset was it is time for us to win," Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer said. "She has been saying that in all the games and it was nice to see her have a great game."

The Lady Bulldogs got within seven in the second half before Ray scored six of the Scarlet Knights' final nine points to seal it.

"My coaches tell me to keep shooting and I would get my shot back," Ray said. "Today, I did and knocked down those shots."
