Coach Grace just completed her 17th season as Chaffey’s Head Women’s Soccer Coach.  In 2019, Chaffey won the IEAC Championship. Chaffey also won the South Coast Conference Championship in 2018 with an undefeated 8-0 record. Coach Grace was voted as Coach of the Year in both seasons. The Panthers finished 2019 with an overall record of 17-3-2, ranking #13 in the country. In 2018, Chaffey finished CCCAA play with an overall 16-2-3 record (#4 in Southern CA). Between the 2016 and 2017 seasons, Chaffey finished with 35 wins in just over 40 games, seeing them ranked as high as #2 nationally. Back in 2015, the Lady Panthers spent most of the season at #1 in state RPI and earned the #1 seed in South Region State Playoffs, further establishing Chaffey soccer as a top community college program in California.  While compiling a 10-year overall record of 159-36-25 (.780 win %), the Lady Panthers are regularly ranked as one of the state’s top teams. Coach Grace has successfully helped her athletes to continue their education and soccer careers at the next level with many former Lady Panthers moving on to 4-year universities throughout the United States. Through hard work and recruitment, Grace looks to build a program of dedicated student-athletes.   

After playing at Fullerton College in 2000-2002 and earning 1st team All-Conference, MVP, Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Captain honors, Grace joined the coaching staff as an assistant, knowing she would stay in the game as a coach. Grace went on to continue at Cal State Fullerton where she earned her Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Kinesiology in 2006. In addition to coaching, Grace currently teaches in the Kinesiology department at Chaffey College.
