ERIE, Pa. (AP) -- Stroke-play medalists Julia Potter and Shannon Johnson each won two matches Wednesday at The Kahkwa Club to advance the U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur final.

Potter, a 28-year-old reinstated amateur from Indianapolis, won the 2013 event for players 25 and older and finished second in 2014.

''All I'm trying to do is enjoy the moment,'' Potter said. ''I know how hard it is to get back here, and take that in and hopefully take that momentum into tomorrow, as well.''

The left-hander beat Katie Miller of Jeannette, Pennsylvania in 21 holes in the quarterfinals, and topped 51-year-old Patricia Schremmer of Honolulu 4 and 3 in the semifinals.
