A Winning Team on Hallmark Channel
According to the official synopsis, professional soccer player Emily Chen (Nadia Hatta) has just been fired for her lack of sportsmanship. She decides to travel home to spend some much-needed downtime with her widowed brother and his daughter, Ava (Niki Garcia). However, when Emily accidentally injures her niece’s coach, Ian Vermette (Kristoffer Polaha), she covers for him, while leading Ava’s team into the playoffs.
With a shot at the championship at stake, Emily and Ian’s different coaching styles threaten their objective. Meanwhile, as they begin to warm up to each other on and off the field, they both make strides toward healing old wounds.
However, when Emily gets an offer from her old coach to return, her and Ian’s romantic relationship is threatened. This begs the question, can Emily and Ian get back on the same team before the big game?
