Setter Carly Anderson helped Montana to a 2-1 weekend at the Chucktown Throwdown tournament in South Carolina, as the Grizzlies completed their best non-conference record in 17 seasons. Anderson was named the Big Sky Conference Offensive Player of the Week after averaging 10.45 assists per set while also adding 23 digs, seven kills, five blocks and three service aces.

Her biggest performance came on Saturday, when Montana beat host Charleston Southern in five sets. The Grizzlies lost the first two sets, but despite facing a 0-2 hole, came back to win the final three. Anderson had a career-high 58 assists as she distributed the ball to an offense that hit an impressive .342 as a team. She also added 12 digs in the win, her third double-double of the season.

In Montana's three-set sweep over UNC Greensboro on Friday, Anderson had 37 assists, but was also effective keeping the ball in her hands, tallying four kills on six dump or joust attempts.

Four weeks into the season, the Ontario, Canada, native ranks second in the Big Sky with 10.08 assists per set, while also ranking fourth in the league with 17 service aces (0.43 per set). She sets up an offense that ranks second in the Big Sky for hitting percentage (.221), kills (12.93 per set) and assists (11.90).
