By Sam Hellman on 30. Mar, 2009

OKLAHOMA CIY – After an 80-52 upset last week over No. 2 Auburn, C. Vivian Stringer and the Scarlet Knights were unable to pull off another upset tonight against. Rutgers was boiled over by Purdue 67-61 in Oklahoma City, eliminated the team in the Sweet 16.

Despite a combined 34 points from junior guards Brittany Ray and Epiphanny Prince, the Scarlet Knights could not rally to closer than two down after facing a 14-point deficit midway through the second half.

Rutgers finished its season with a record of 21-13 in the final season for center Kia Vaughn and forward Heather Zurich.

Vaughn, a likely first round WNBA Draft pick, scored 10 points and had 11 boards in her final game as Zurich contributed two key points and five boards.
