Strong offense helped propel BYU softball to a pair of wins, 3-2 and 8-0, against Loyola Marymount at Gail Miller Field on Saturday afternoon to win the West Coast Conference title.
The wins give the Cougars (35-20, 13-1 WCC) their 10th-straight conference title (fifth in the WCC) and an automatic berth to the NCAA tournament. With the upcoming games, BYU will have competed in 14-consecutive NCAA tournaments.
“All our championships are hard-earned,” BYU head coach Gordon Eakin said. “I've never been involved in one that's been easy. I thought we prepared really well this week for LMU.
