BYU Cougars finished softball season with bittersweet taste in their mouths, but optimistic about the future

PROVO — The BYU softball season ended in typical fashion late last month, which can be viewed as both a good thing and bad, although coaches and players are determined to reach atypical heights moving forward.

The Cougars' season ended with another tough loss in the NCAA regionals. Once again BYU proved competitive against top teams, much like other seasons, but ultimately came up short of reaching the Super Regional Round.

"We didn’t reach quite the level we thought we were capable of,” said BYU coach Gordon Eakin. “We felt we should have won the regional we went to, so even though we did have success we feel our abilities are so much higher than we reached this year.
