(PISCATAWAY, NJ) - Stasha Carey and Rutgers just keep rolling in the Big Ten. Carey scored a career-high 30 points and the No. 20 Scarlet Knights remained perfect in the conference with a 76-62 victory over 17th-ranked Michigan State on Sunday. Rutgers (15-3, 7-0 Big Ten) has won its first seven conference games for the first time since the 2007-08 season when the team was still in the Big East. The Scarlet Knights have won 10 in a row overall, marking the second consecutive season they've had a winning streak of 10 or more games. Arella Guirantes added 19 points for Rutgers (15-3, 7-0 Big Ten), which trailed 14-13 late in the first quarter before scoring the final eight points of the period. Michigan State (13-5, 3-4) scored the first eight points of the fourth quarter, using a press, to cut its deficit to 57-47 before Carey hit a layup. The redshirt-senior added a three-point play and two free throws to extend the advantage to 15 midway through the quarter. The Spartans could get no closer than 11 the rest of the way. Michigan State was led by Taryn McCutcheon and Sidney Cooks, who each had 15 points. The Spartans continue to struggle on the road in conference play, having dropped all four of their Big Ten games away from home. Michigan State is a perfect 10-0 at home.
