When a young female volleyball player makes the new Husker volleyball team in 1975 following the passage of Title IX, she soon discovers that her fiercest opponents aren't on the court.

SYNOPSIS:

A docudrama based on true Title IX events in 1975, that follows a high school athlete named Elizabeth who dreams of earning a college scholarship even told there are no scholarships for women. When colleges begin to sponsor women’s varsity athletics, Elizabeth walks on and makes the varsity team to find lack of funding requiring them to do fundraising to buy their own warmups and equipment. She finds expectations for female athletes are no different than they were for women in the 40's and 50's. Not only was there lack of support but, most surprising was the persecution by other women. These women had to prove themselves and change the mindset of generations. Elizabeth and her team work hard and train to gain the skills to qualify for Nationals but with an ankle injury at the Regional Tournament, she may never get to play at the National Tournament at Princeton. With help from the fathers, a rogue football trainer and football player, she is able to recover sufficiently and enter the game using her new dropping -like-a-rock serve to help the team defeat a cocky, highly rated California team in a Cinderella game. This movie proves that women can compete at the highest levels when given the opportunity. The story shows the sacrifices and triumphs of the early women’s sports teams that paved the way for future generations and the gift that today's female athletes have been given. People really do pay to watch female athletes, and it was proven when Nebraska held "Volleyball Day" in 2023 at a sell-out crowd of 92,003.
