LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. (EMUEagles.com) — In its first action of the 2016 spring season, the Eastern Michigan University women's golf team advanced to the semifinals of the 2016 Women's Mid-American Match Play Challenge on the par 72, 6,068-yards Royal Lakes Golf Course at the Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club.
After a first round bye, the second-seeded Eagles played Bowling Green State University to a 1-1-3 draw. However, Eastern Michigan was able to advance on a margin of victory tiebreaker by posting a 5&4 win in the dual.
In the match against the Eagles, the Eagles got a win from sophomore Thelma Beck (Baden, France-Lycee Sainte Anne) at the No. 2 position, but suffered a loss at the No. 4 spot when freshman Kritsuda Apiwatthanadol (Bangkok, Thailand-Somtawin Witead Suska Huaymongkhon School) fell. The other three matches would finish all square to put the team score tied at 1-1-3 overall.
BGSU's Erin Fahey picked up a 3&2 win over Apiwatthanadol to record BGSU's lone win of the match, but Beck edged Mikayla Baer, 5&4. Meanwhile, Kelsey Murphy (Plymouth, Mich.-Plymouth), Karyn Lee Ping (Brampton, Ontario, Canada-St. Augustine Secondary School) and Lauren Stephens (Dublin, Ohio-Coffman-Toledo) all finished their head-to-head matches all square through 18 holes of play.
With the tie, the Eagles advanced to the semifinals round by virtue of the margin of victory tiebreaker. With EMU's 5&4 win being greater than BGSU's 3&2 victory, the Eagles advanced to face the University of Akron in the semifinals round Tuesday, Feb. 9
The second day of the 2016 Women's Mid-American Match Play Challenge is slated for a 7:50 a.m. start time tomorrow. Live scoring for Tuesday's rounds are available at Golfstat.com.

Tiebreaker System:
Team Matches Tied: Team matches that are tied will be decided by using the following procedure:
If a team match is tied after the completion of the five singles matches, the tie will be broken by comparing the margin of victory of each individual match won for their team.
If a team tie still exists, the team winner will be determined by comparing the number of holes remaining in each match won:
If a team tie still exists, the team winner will be determined by comparing the halved match or matches. These results will be determined by a "scorecard playoff" (scores will be compared by the #1 handicap hole) provided all tied matches have played that hole. Handicap holes will be used until the tie is broken with total scores.
