She was 10-over in the two-day championship at Temecula Creek Inn Resort. She won the state championship last year and was the Southern California Regional champion this year.

Grimes and Irvine Valley College’s Kate Cho were tied with 3-over 75s after the first round of the state championship.

Grimes was 7-over on the second day. Taylor Crandall from Palomar College won the state championship with a 6-over 148 in the two-round tournament.

Grimes earned a spot on the all-state team with her fourth place finish.

In college soccer, the College of the Canyons women are the No. 2 seed in the Southern Regional playoffs and have a bye in the first round.
