the 17 year old from RCS Academy captured her first Pro Circuit title over the weekend, at the $10,000 event in Amelia Island, Florida. Unseeded, Herring, who has committed to the University of Georgia for the fall of 2011, did not drop a set in her five wins, while defeating the No. 4 and No. 5 seeds en route to the final. There she met another unseeded American junior, 16-year-old Catherine Harrison of Tennessee, who was also making her first appearance in a Pro Circuit final. Herring came out on top in that encounter, 6-2, 6-3.
