Joining a Strong Core for the Playoff Push

This time around, AJ Koller will team up with Hunter Johnson, Catherine Parenteau, and Jade Kawamoto. With just ten matches left—split between Las Vegas and Miami—the Los Angeles Mad Drops have a clear mission: make a serious push toward the playoffs. They’ve been steady but need to find another gear if they hope to break into the upper tier of the league standings.

Currently, the Los Angeles Mad Drops rank eighth based on average points per match, meaning every win from here on out matters as they try to work their way into post-season position.

The Arizona Drive Matchup

The team’s first challenge in Vegas will be a matchup against the Arizona Drive, which is set to be broadcast live on MLP’s YouTube channel. Fans can catch the action starting at 10:30 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. With both teams competing for position in the standings, this contest could set the tone for the rest of the week.

As AJ Koller steps in, all eyes will be on how the team adjusts, and whether this lineup can deliver when it matters most. For the Los Angeles Mad Drops, their playoff hopes are very much alive—if they can execute in these crucial matchups.
