  EERIE, Pa. – Continuing her winning ways early Wednesday, Minnesotan Olivia Herrick got past Amanda Jacobs to advance to Wednesday’s semifinal match at the 2016 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship at the Kahkwa Club.

Herrick, Roseville, Minn., benefitted from two early bogeys by Jacobs to take the early 2-up lead during the quarterfinals before jumping out to a commanding 5-up lead after 10 holes, helped by back-to-back birdies at the eighth and ninth.

Jacobs, Portland, Ore., began to chip away at Herrick’s lead by rolling in birdie at the 12th and added another to her scorecard at the 15th to trail by two with two holes to play. But a double-bogey by Jacobs at the 17th would clinch a spot in the semifinals for Herrick as she moved on, 3 and 1.

Herrick’s semifinal match began at 12 noon and currently has a 1-up lead over Shannon Johnson, of Norton, Mass., after seven holes.
