The 2018 BYU Cougars women's soccer team represented BYU during the 2018 NCAA Division I women's soccer season. The Cougars were coached for a 24th consecutive season by Jennifer Rockwood, who was co-coach in 1995 and became the solo head coach in 1996. Before 1995, BYU women's soccer competed as a club team and not as a member of the NCAA. Overall, the Cougars had made the NCAA tournament in 18 of the 23 seasons that Rockwood had been the head coach. Joining Rockwood as assistant coaches were Brent Anderson (2nd season)[1] and Steve Magleby (1st season)[2] with volunteer assistants Rachel Jorgensen (5th season) and McKinzie Young 7th season). The Cougars came off of a season were they fourth in the WCC and went 7–8–4, 4–4–1 in the WCC. The Cougars were picked to finish third by the WCC media.[3] The Cougars stunned the conference and went 8–1 to win the WCC Championship and return to the NCAA Playoffs, where they lost to TCU in the first round. The Cougars finished the season 13–5–1.

Media

Television and internet streaming

Most BYU women's soccer will have a TV broadcast or internet video stream available. BYUtv and TheW.tv will once again serve as the primary providers. Information on these television broadcasts can be found under each individual match.

Nu Skin BYU Sports Network

For a fifth consecutive season the BYU Sports Network will air BYU Cougars women's soccer games. Greg Wrubell will provide play-by-play for most games with Jason Shepherd or Robbie Bullough filling-in when Wrubell has football duties. Analysts will rotate. ESPN 960 and BYU Radio will act as the flagship stations for women's soccer.
