Ultiworld Interview: Southpaw
Southpaw, the team making waves in the Club season, sits down for an intimate conversation with Ultiworld to discuss their transition from the AUDL. The team opens up about the challenges of adjusting to a new league and the process of integrating new players into their roster. With 18 new faces joining the squad, Southpaw reveals that it's been a gradual process to get everyone on the same page. Starting late has proven to be an issue, with only making their final roster last weekend, but they're determined to make adjustments and work towards improvement. The team is still finding its footing, particularly in terms of executing defensive strategies, such as defending the Mark and getting discs out quickly. With two starting players missing from their lineup, Southpaw must adapt to new challenges, but their goal remains the same: to win and get back into the swing of things.
