Kevin Anderson Position: Assistant Coach Alma Mater: Loyola College '93

Kevin Anderson is in his 10th year as an assistant under Kevin Corrigan on the Irish staff. Since Anderson arrived on campus, Notre Dame has had a great deal of success, compiling a 74-44 (.627) record, winning six Great Western Lacrosse League championships, finishing in the national top 20 eight times, and earning four invitations to the NCAA Championship, highlighted by an appearance in the 2000 quarterfinals and the `01 semis. Anderson, a former All-American at Loyola, takes part in every aspect of the Irish program, including heavy involvement with recruiting and working with the Irish midfielders.

A variety of Notre Dame players have experienced tremendous individual success since Anderson has been on the Irish staff. In that time, 11 different players have earned All-America honors on 17 occasions, while Notre Dame has garnered 48 all-GWLL honors, an average of more than five per season. The highlight of Anderson's tenure was the `01 campaign, in which the Irish posted the best record in school history, 14-2, rose to an all-time high national ranking of #2 before finishing fourth, and advanced to the NCAA semifinals for the first time in Notre Dame history. Five players from that squad earned All-America honors, the most-ever by the Irish in a single season. Attackman Tom Glatzel, also one of the five finalists for the Tewaaraton Trophy given to the nation's top player, led the way as Notre Dame's first-ever first-team All-American.

Anderson worked closely with the only two Notre Dame goalkeepers ever to earn All-America honors, Alex Cade (`98) and Kirk Howell (`01), and also with the lone Irish midfielders to be named All-Americans, Jimmy Keenan (`98) and Steve Bishko (`01).

In 2005, freshman goalkeeper Joey Kemp led the nation with a .652 save percentage en route to being named GWLL Rookie of the Year. Prior to coming to Notre Dame, he served for two years as an assistant coach at Washington & Lee.

A native of Baltimore, Md., Anderson was a two-sport standout for Loyola in lacrosse and basketball. As a midfielder for the Greyhounds from 1990-93, he collected 35 goals and 10 assists. Anderson earned United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) All-America honors his senior season after scoring 21 goals and dishing off six assists. He captained Loyola in his final collegiate campaign and played in the annual North-South All-Star Game.

Anderson was a member of the 1990 Loyola squad which finished as the runner-up to Syracuse in the NCAA tournament. During his sophomore season (1991), he played five games in goal and registered a career-high 21 saves in an 11-9 NCAA quarterfinal loss to North Carolina.

Anderson was a starting forward for the Greyhound basketball team while lettering all four years (1989-92). He captained the squad as a senior and finished his career with 827 points and 257 rebounds.

A 1993 graduate of Loyola with a bachelor's degree in mathematics, he played for the Charlotte Cobras of the Major Indoor Lacrosse League (MILL) during the 1996 season.

Born Aug. 5, 1970, Anderson resides in South Bend with his wife, the former Molly Lennon, a 1992 Notre Dame graduate and former Irish women's soccer player. The couple was married in 2001 and has a three-year-old son, KJ.
