Softball hasn't taken the field in nearly a year, last playing March 8, 2020 in a loss to Adams State. BHSU finished 4-15 overall and 3-9 in the RMAC last season with wins against Minot State, Fort Lewis and Adams State in what ended up being a 19-game, shortened-season due to the coronavirus pandemic.

NMHU has had to endure the same break in play, falling to Metro State last March 8. The Cowboys finished last season at 2-22 overall and 1-11 in conference.

The two teams haven't played since March 30 and 31 of 2018, in which they split a four-game set.

All-time, the Yellow Jackets are 2-14 against NHMU, losing the first 14 straight matchups, but winning the last two in 2018.
