Woliczko made one of two free throws to give Archbishop Mitty a 74-72 lead. But Davidson sent the game to overtime sinking two free throws with 9.1 seconds left as the Monarchs fouled her trying to avoid giving up a potential game-winning 3-point shot.
In the extra frame, Woliczko missed two easy low post buckets before converting an and-one for a 77-74 lead. Davidson cut the lead to one before the Monarchs' post scored on back-to-back trips down the court and an 81-76 lead with 90 seconds remaining.
Tiera McCarthy hit a jumper with 31 seconds left to help Mitty stretch its lead and advance to Friday's semifinal against No. 13
