2014 BYU Cougars softball team

The 2014 BYU Cougars softball team represents Brigham Young University in the 2014 NCAA Division I softball season. Gordon Eakin enters the year as head coach of the Cougars for a 12th consecutive season. The Cougars enter 2014 being in their fourth conference in four years time. In 2011 the Cougars were part of the Mountain West Conference. In 2012 they joined the Western Athletic Conference for softball only. In 2013 they were part of the Pacific Coast Softball Conference, and in 2014 they join the West Coast Conference. The WCC is in its first season hosting softball after Pacific joined the conference, giving them the six members needed to host softball for the conference. The Cougars have won their last 3 conference championships and enter 2014 as the favorites in the WCC. The Cougars would win the conference championship with a sweep of Saint Mary's April 9 and qualify for their tenth consecutive NCAA softball tournament. After upsetting Northwestern on Thursday, the Cougars would lose twice on Friday to be eliminated from the Eugene region with a 34–23 overall record.

Coaching staff
BYU entered the 2014 season with two new assistants. At the end of the 2013 season assistant coach Vaughn Alvey announced his retirement after 11 seasons with the Cougars. Meanwhile, Ianeta Le'i left BYU to pursue other interests after 7 seasons with the Cougars. To replace the departing assistants, Gordon Eakin would interview and hire former Cougar alum Kristin Delahoussaye, who had been serving as an assistant softball and strength coach at Dixie State College and Salt Lake City Pitching Academy head coach Peter Meredith.
