The 2016 BYU Cougars women's soccer team will represent BYU during the 2016 NCAA Division I women's soccer season. The Cougars are coached for a 22nd 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. The Cougars enter the 2016 season having won four consecutive West Coast Conference championships[1] and having made the NCAA Tournament each of the last four seasons and in 17 of the 21 seasons that Rockwood has been the head coach. The Cougars come off of a season were they advanced to the second round of the College Cup before being defeated by Stanford to finish the season 16–3–2.[2]
