In the final match, Stasi, from Oakland Park, took an early lead with a birdie on the par 5 1st hole. Stasi maintained the 1-up lead through seven holes and then birdied the 8th to go 2-up. Arnoux, from Miami Beach, birdied the 11th, but Stasi countered with a birdie on the 12th to return to 2-up. She then won the 13th to go 3-up and she held the lead through the 16th hole where she won the match 3 & 2 and claimed her second Women's Amateur Championship title (2010 & 2012).

Stasi had support from her husband, Dan, and her father who both followed along during the final match. Stasi's consistent play all week continued in the finals where she hit 14 of 16 greens, made three birdies and never lost the lead.

In the finals of the Championship Consolation bracket, Gennifer Mendez defeated Carianne Wright 5 & 4.
