The Cowgirls were rolling last season as one of the best teams in the country by the team the remainder of the 2020 season was canceled due to COVID-19. They were sitting at 19-5 overall and were riding a 12-game winning streak by the time things got shutdown. Two of the five losses came in one-point decisions against No. 11 LSU on the road. However, just a few days later, they knocked off No. 9 Alabama on the road, as well as No. 13 Minnesota and spilt two games with No. 1 Louisiana.
They picked up an impressive 5-4 extra innings home win over No. 10 Oregon and an 11-2 win over No. 25 Utah before the season came to a halt.
