The championship will be decided in an 18-hole match Friday. Play will begin at 8 a.m.
Johnson, the top seed, ousted Alexis Florio of Woodland Golf Club, 1-up, in a spirited semifinal match. In the other semifinal, Brozena won the opening hole and never looked back en route to defeating Molly Smith of Westford and Vesper CC, 3-and-2.
Johnson earned medalist honors by posting a 6-under score after 18-hole stroke play Monday and Tuesday. Smith was one shot back, while Brozena finished at 3-under.
