Part 2 of our 4 part series where we check-in with a player from the top 4 seeds of the Men's and Women's divisions heading into Club Nationals. Moving onto Pool B - we have Linsday Soo of Phoenix and John Randolph of PoNY.

Phoenix is a confluence of rising young stars who have dominated the college division and world class, proven veterans who have won at the highest level. After winning Player of the Year in 2021, Lindsay was sidelined in 2022 from an ACL. Back on the field in 2023, Lindsay is more grateful than ever to be playing ultimate. She credits her ability to slot back into the lineup and Phoenix's rise to their best regular season in program history to the strength of her teammates.

PoNY has been the team to beat since 2018, and this year's roster is more talented than ever. The fact that they only have 1 title over that span proves how hard it is to win a championship. Over that time JR has also been a mainstay in semis and finals of both the Club and College division no matter which team he's playing on. The former Callahan award winner gives us some insight into what it's like to always have the target on your back. As his coach, BVH, says, "Pressure builds diamonds."
