I wouldn't recommend breeding her at 115 grams. She would have much less chance of any complications if you waited the extra year in my opinion.
The fact that she "might" be able to have eggs(which would be thinner and more elongated)in her case to accomodate more normal volumed eggs for her smaller size, certainly doesn't mean it is best for the snake, no matter if it might be possible or happen as it many times does in nature. Quite often animal's die in nature too due to different complications, that is simply nature. Remember, you are the one in control here in this situation with the captive breeding even though she could possibly ovulate at this size.
Too many people get caught up in not having enough patience to do what might be best for the snake and only focus on producing eggs NOW! NOW! NOW!. If it is very questionable(and I think it is in this case), it would probably be best to wait until next year when her size would be much more optimum. But hey!, I've only been into snakes since 1967, so what do I know about any of them 
Good luck with thing!
