The 2025-26 season is Kayla Anderson’s second year as an assistant coach and director of operations at Montana.
She was hired in the summer of 2024 after previously working for one season as a graduate assistant at Southern Utah.
In her first year at Montana, the Lady Griz advanced to the Big Sky Conference championship game, where they were a last-second shot from advancing to the program’s first NCAA tournament since 2015.
Anderson’s start in coaching followed a five-year playing career that led her to three different schools.
She played one season (2018-19) at Salt Lake Community College for a team that won a region championship, then started all 29 games in 2019-20 for Midland (Texas) College.
She spent her final three seasons at Utah Valley, twice earning Academic All-WAC honors. She graduated from Utah Valley in 2022 with a degree in exercise science.
Utah Valley advanced to the 2021 NCAA tournament, with Anderson starting for the Wolverines against eventual national champion Stanford in a first-round game in San Antonio, Texas.
In 2021-22, Anderson had a 17-point, 10-rebound double-double in a 99-59 home win over Utah Tech and nine assists in a 62-43 home win over Portland State as Utah Valley won 16 games.
Anderson suffered a season-ending injury four games into her final playing season in 2022-23.
Originally from Meridian, Idaho, Anderson is a 2017 graduate of Mountain View High. She was on the school’s Class 5A state championship teams as a sophomore and junior.
She is pursuing a master’s degree in sports conditioning and performance from Southern Utah.
