Carter, the tournament's No. 1 match play seed after earning low medalist during stroke play, never trailed in her first three rounds of match play. She defeated Australia's Shyla Singh 7 and 5 in the quarterfinal on Friday morning.
She found herself in a two-hole deficit after nine holes play against Chen, however. Carter rallied with wins on holes No. 13 and 16 only to hand the lead back to Chen with a short missed par putt on No. 17.
Chen found the green on the par-5 No. 18 in two strokes and lagged her ensuing putt close to the hole. Carter, who had a short birdie putt, conceded the putt and match to Chen.
