ANN ARBOR – Bailey Cheetham scored with 2:10 left in the first overtime to lift 15^th-ranked Johns Hopkins to a 10-9 win at fifth-ranked Michigan Saturday in the Big Ten Quarterfinals. The Blue Jays improve to 11-6 on the season and advance to next week's semifinal, while the Wolverines fall to 14-3.
 
Michigan rallied with three goals in the 2:18 to tie the game at nine and force overtime. After both defenses got a stop to start overtime, the Blue Jays took over and it was Cheetham, dodging through the defense and scoring on a high-to-low shot to send Hopkins to the semifinals.
 
Hopkins pushed out to a 4-0 lead over the game's 22 minutes with goals from four different scorers. Marielle McAteer scored the only goal of the opening quarter when she dodged down the middle of the fan and fired a shot to the right post at 2:30. The Blue Jays capitalized on a failed Wolverine clear and some tic-tac-toe passing led to a Campbell Case finish on the doorstep at 12:32 in the second. Just over two minutes later, Cheetham found a cutting Ava Angello and she scored from in-tight to make it 3-0. Ashley Mackin capped the opening run when she took a pass from Cheetham, stepped down and blew home a shot from six yards out.
 
Lily Montemarano got Michigan on the board with 2:52 to play in the second, but Hopkins answered with a Maeve Barker transition goal and the Blue Jays led 5-1 at the half. Barker then opened the third-quarter scoring, finishing on a quick-stick at 10:06 off another Cheetham helper. Case made it a 7-1 game just 34 seconds later when she cut across the fan and beat Erin O'Grady from close range.
 
The Wolverines responded with a five-goal run, that spanned 15 minutes and 47 seconds, and saw them trim the deficit just one with 8:04 to play in the game. Jill Smith sparked the run with a free position goal at 8:51 in the third and a Julia Schwabe free position goal made it a 7-6 game at 8:04 in the fourth. Angello pushed the lead back to two when she stung an eight-meter off the crossbar and in at 6:36. Mackin made it a three-goal game at the 4:40-mark when she slipped between two defenders, took a pass from Abbey Hurlbrink and scored over the top of O'Grady.
 
Caroline Davis scored off a dodge from behind with 2:18 to play to ignite the Wolverines late-game rally. Katharine Merrifield then scored on a quick-stick in the slot just 31 seconds later and it was 9-8. Kaylee Dyer then scored off a restart from behind with 1:13 to play, setting the stage for overtime.
 
Cheetham led the Blue Jays with five points (1g, 4a) and notched the 100^th point of her career with her first point of the game. Barker added three points (2g, 1a) while Angello, Case and Mackin also had two-goal games. Jennifer Barry finished with five draws to break the program single-season record. Paris Colgain had a game and career-high five ground balls while Jordan Carr had three caused turnovers and three ground balls. Madison Doucette finished with nine saves and a ground ball.
 
Davis led the Wolverines with one goal and three assists and Dyer (2g) was the only other multi-point scorer. Smith had five draws to go with her goal and Maddie Burns had five caused turnovers. O'Grady totaled nine saves and had two ground balls.
