As Anderson enters year eight in Mid-Missouri that new era has already gotten off to a successful start, and her ability to change the culture of the program in such a short time was a big reason why. Anderson has led Mizzou to a 242-146 record over her seven seasons and owns a career record of 372-220-1 as a head coach. In her time at the helm of the Tigers, Anderson has steered Missouri to five NCAA Regional appearances and a pair of Super Regionals. She has led the Tigers to 35 or more wins in five of her seven years at Mizzou. Missouri hosted a Regional and Super Regional in 2024 after home postseason runs in 2021 (Regional and Super Regional) and 2022 (Regional). Anderson finished her first season in the Black & Gold with a 35-25 record, the most wins for the Tigers in a single season since 2016, when they won 42 games. Anderson's squad was also stellar in her first season as part of the always elite Southeastern Conference, as the Tigers' 12 wins during SEC play, which resulted in a tie for fourth place, were the most conference victories for Mizzou since 2016. The season ended with the T
