The Snakes suffered a late-quarter collapse against the Tucson Sugar Skulls last Saturday, May 3. Arizona couldn’t get points in the last quarter, and its offense not working together. The Rattlers’ defense was given two vital penalties and Tucson took advantage to upset the reigning IFL Champions, 42-35.
