An uplifting true-story sports drama about an underdog women's basketball team overcoming institutional obstacles through determination, faith, and collective belief.
In 1971, Cathy Rush becomes the head basketball coach at a tiny, all-girls Catholic college. Though her team has no gym and no uniforms — and the school itself is in danger of being sold — Rush looks to steer her girls to their first national championship.
