Why are you creating the score array inside he while loop? What's that for? It looks like it's for all the scores, but if you have 3 lines, then you're creating 3 different scores arrays--one with 1 element, 1 with 2 elements, and 1 with 3 elements.
For all but the last one, you're creating it, populating the last element, then throwing it away.
For the last one, you create it, populate the last element (leaving the first three with their default value of 0) and then that's what gets printed.
When you have this kind of problem, print out a bunch of relevant stuff (and even some stuff that you think is not relevant) at each step of the way, so ou can see what your code is doing. Yout THINK you know what it's doing, but obviously you're mistaken. If you can't figure it out from staring at it, then you'll have to let the code itself tell you what's really going on.
You'll have to create the array before you start the while loop, which means you'll have to know ahead of time how many scores you have, or know some maximum that you could possibly have and make it big enough to hold that many.
Or,instead of an array, you couse use a List, such as java.util.ArrayList.
