Why does she "deserve" a reprimand? She made a mistake and then did the additional research and learned that she made a mistake and apologized. Accept the apology and move on. Not doing so is, IMO, bitter and vindictive.
Where is the benefit of her being "written up" for this event? Do you think that she is going to change her behavior more based on realizing herself that she screwed up or because the manager tells her she screwed up? I'm betting on the former, not the latter.
