San Jose, Calif.----- Forward Jasmine Smith tied a career scoring high with 25 points and pulled down a team-high 10 rebounds leading San Jose State to a 90-85 win over Cal State Stanislaus in a non-conference women's basketball game.
Smith was 11-of-15 from the field and scored 16 of her points in the second half as the Spartans (3-9) ended a six-game losing streak. Starting guards Dezz Ramos with 20 and MyMy Ladd with a season-high 15 and reserve Rachol West with 11 also scored in double figures for San Jose State.
Reana Hardin led Stanislaus State (5-7) in scoring with a career-high 31 points. Cassidy Sanders-Curry added a season-high 15 and game-high 11 rebounds and Riley Holladay scored 10 for the Warriors.

Cal State Stanislaus trailed by as many as 15 points, 57-42, early in the third quarter. The Warriors got as close as 88-85 with 14.2 seconds remaining after a Sanders-Curry basket, but two free throws by Ramos for her fifth game of 20 or more points this season clinched the win for San Jose State.
