Missoula native and Big Sky High School alum Kelly (Pilcher) Beattie helped lead the Lady Griz to a 97-21 overall record and a 44-6 record in the Big Sky during her four-year varsity career, with just two losses inside Dahlberg Arena in that time.
Montana was extraordinarily successful during that run, advancing to the NCAA tourney three times during her career in her freshman, sophomore, and senior seasons. She helped lead the Lady Griz to some of the program's most memorable moments, including an 85-74 win over Wisconsin in 1992 and a 77-67 win over UNLV in 1994 in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
She was a two-time first team All-Big Sky pick and a two-time all-tournament selection as well. She was voted team co-MVP (with Grizzly Sports Hall of Famer Ann (Lake) Rausch) as a senior in 1994 and was named UM's outstanding defensive player in 1993. She also earned Big Sky Player of the Week honors three times in her career.
As of 2024 she ranked seventh in school history in career assists with 475 and is tied for 10th in career steals with 177. Her senior year total of 215 assists remains the second highest single season total in program history as well. Her 68 steals in 1994 tie her for 10th most in a season.
(Pilcher) Beattie had 15 assists against Boise State in 1994, a mark still tied for the school record as of her induction. She also led the team in minutes played with 942 in that season.
