Analysis
This was the student pilot's first solo landing. She said the acft drifted to the left of the centerline during the landing roll and she attempted to correct with right rudder. However, the acft continued to the left and ran off the left side of the rwy. The plt said there were tall weeds outside the rwy lights and when the acft encountered the grass it nosed over.
