LARAMIE — The Wyoming Cowboys closed out spring practice Saturday afternoon with the annual Spring Game at War Memorial Stadium, where the Gold Team defeated the Brown Team 21-7 under sunny skies.

“We needed to have a game today and get players out in a game rhythm and to go through the mechanics in front of fans, and I appreciate all the fans that came out and it was a beautiful day,” Wyoming head coach Jay Sawvel said. “I’m really excited about everything, but we have work to do.”

Rock Springs native Isaac Schoenfeld made a strong impact for the Gold Team, catching a touchdown pass from quarterback Landon Sims with 30 seconds remaining in the first half to give the Gold a 14-7 lead.
