Past champion and three time US Women's Mid-Am Champion, Meghan Stasi, defeated Diane Lang, 5&4, during the morning round of quarter-finals. Stasi left it difficult for Lang to keep up after throwing back-to-back birdies at her on both the front and the back nines. Stasi was in the zone and her momentum carried into her semi-final match against high school senior Samantha Marks, defeating her 5&4. Unlike Stasi, Marie Arnoux, of Miami Beach, had a challenging quarter-final match against Nancy Smith. After 19 holes, Arnoux was able to proceed to her semi-final match where she met number one seed and Georgia committed, Kailey Walsh. Arnoux defeated Walsh 5&4, giving her the ticket to Friday's final match.
