Spoilers ahead
It’s 1971, and Cathy Rush is a woman ahead of her time, poised to embark on a remarkable adventure. As a new era emerges in collegiate athletics, the country gears up for its first-ever national championship in women’s basketball. While prominent universities strategize for the coveted title, a small all-women’s Catholic college in Philadelphia faces a more immediate concern: finding a coach before the season kicks off. Luckily, Cathy Rush is about to discover Immaculata College.
Recently married, Cathy navigates the aftermath of a truncated playing career. Defying societal expectations that would have her stay at home, she’s determined to put in the effort needed to guide her new team toward their aspirations. Perhaps, in doing so, she’s also striving to fulfill her own unaccomplished dreams through them.
