2020 BYU Cougars softball team


The 2020 BYU Cougars softball team represented Brigham Young University in the 2020 NCAA Division I softball season. Gordon Eakin entered the year as head coach of the Cougars for an 18th consecutive season. 2020 was the seventh season for the Cougars as members of the WCC in softball.[2] The Cougars entered 2020 having won their last 11 conference championships and as the favorites in the WCC.[3] The Cougars never got to play in conference though, as all athletic events were shut down by the school March 12 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
