The 2020 season (played in Spring 2021) was a very strong year for both the Hoyas and Parcell. Kaitlyn started all 14 games played and Georgetown had its first undefeated season ever, winning the Big East Championship and finishing 12-0-2 (not advancing after the NCAA Tournament quarter-finals in PKs, which is technically a tie).

Georgetown won another Big East Championship, though the season ended in the NCAA Tournament's second round and finished with a final 14-2-6 record.
