TUCSON, Ariz. — A late charge by Team Blue wasn't enough as Team Red held on for a 24-21 victory in the 2022 Arizona Spring Game on Saturday afternoon.
Team Blue's late comeback attempt was highlighted by fourth-quarter touchdown passes from Women's Basketball's Sam Thomas and standout freshman wide receiver
Tetairoa McMillan.

The afternoon featured numerous notable plays, including a 90-yard pick six by sophomore safety

Jordan McCloud on a trick play.
Victorious Team Red was coached by Lance Briggs and
Mike Candrea, while Team Blue was led into the game by
Tedy Bruschi and

Blue opened the scoring with a seven-yard toss from McCloud to tight end
Keyan Burnett, however Red quickly responded on defense two drives later with Turner's 90-yard interception return to even the score.

The next two scores belonged to Red on a 45-yard field goal from
Tyler Loop and an 8-yard touchdown pass from
