The Cougars come off of a season where they were co-champions in the WCC and went 17–4–3, 8–1–0 in the WCC. The Cougars went on to advance to their first ever College Cup, and tied in the championship with Florida State before losing on penalties to finish as national runner–up.^[3] The Cougars staff was also named the Women's Staff of the Year.^[4] The Cougars enter 2022 having been picked to win the WCC Championship^[5] in their final season before heading to the Big 12 Conference for the 2023 season.^[6]
