Tiffany Anderson is entering her sixth season as an assistant coach with the Kutztown University women's lacrosse team in 2026, after joining the program prior to the 2021 season.
Anderson joined the Maroon and Gold in 2021 after two seasons as a graduate assistant coach at East Stroudsburg University. She remained with the program following Kristen Nicholson's appointment as head coach in 2022, with the duo quickly steering Kutztown in the right direction.
The Golden Bears achieved its third straight winning season in 2025, as the team found success behind strong years from seniors Sam Graf and Lailah ElBouazzaoui, who concluded their careers as two of the greatest Golden Bear lacrosse players in program history.
Anderson was part of a coaching staff that won a school-record games in back-to-back seasons, winning 13 in 2023 and 15 in 2024. KU repeated its 2023 success by advancing to the PSAC Championship Game and qualifying for the NCAA Tournament for the second-straight year.
Anderson helped guide the Golden Bears to a nine-win improvement from 2022 to 2023. Kutztown achieved many first-time milestones in 2023, including a PSAC Championship tournament victory in the conference tournament era, an NCAA Division II Championship tournament berth, a spot in the IWLCA national rankings, and its first win over a nationally ranked opponent.Â
The 2022 season served as a learning opportunity for both coaches and student-athletes, but 2023 was a clear indication of the potential the Bears possess going forward. KU improved its win total by nine -- the best single-season turnaround in team history -- and matched a program record with 13 victories (13-6). KU followed in 2024 with a school-record 15 wins and an appearance in the PSAC Championship Game.
Kutztown clinched a spot in the 2023 PSAC Championship tournament for the first time in the conference tournament era, advancing to the semifinals. The Golden Bears also received their first-ever berth in the NCAA Division II Championship tournament, entered the IWLCA national rankings for the first time and collected their first two wins over a nationally ranked opponent. KU ended the season ranked 18th in the IWLCA Poll.
During Anderson's first season on staff as a graduate assistant in 2019, East Stroudsburg posted a 15-6 overall record and 10-2 conference mark. The Warriors advanced to the second round of the NCAA DII Championship (Atlantic Region final) and recorded a program single-season record 290 goals. The team boasted three IWLCA All-Americans, five all-region honorees and five All-PSAC selections en route to a No. 16 ranking in the final IWLCA Poll -- East Stroudsburg's fourth consecutive top 20 finish.
Anderson was a three-year starter for the Dragons of Tiffin University before graduating in 2018.
In 60 career games from 2014-18, the native of East New Market, Md., amassed 22 goals, nine assists, 31 points, 80 ground balls, 58 caused turnovers and 55 draw controls. Anderson was an IWLCA Division II Senior All-Star and All-GLIAC honorable mention selection following a 20-goal, 8-assist campaign during her final season.
Off the field, Anderson claimed a spot on the GLIAC All-Academic Excellence Team as a sophomore, junior and senior. She graduated from Tiffin with a bachelor's degree in sports and recreation management and received her master's degree in management and leadership in sport management from East Stroudsburg in 2020.
Prior to her time on staff at ESU, Anderson gained three years of coaching experience with teams at Winter Meltdown and Endless Summer lacrosse camps in Cambridge, Md.
