This past season, Pies capped off her high school career by finishing tied for 20th at the State Finals. The Trojans' star had a tough first day, shooting 12-over par, but bounced back on day two with one of the best rounds of the day at even par.

Upon graduation in the spring, Pies will make the transition to college golf. She recently signed her letter of intent to golf at the University of Illinois Chicago.
