Scurry posts sixth shutout of season in win

Nikki Serlenga and Kelly Cagle scored goals, and

Briana Scurry posted her sixth shutout as the Atlanta Beat secured

the final WUSA playoff spot with a 2-0 victory over the

Philadelphia Charge on Saturday.

Atlanta (11-9-1) joined the Charge as repeat playoff teams in

the WUSA's second season, and eliminated San Jose in the process.

The Beat will face Philadelphia (11-4-6) in the semifinals if

Carolina loses at San Diego on Sunday. Atlanta defeated

Philadelphia in the semifinals last year with an overtime goal.

Philadelphia, which scored a league-high 24 second-half goals,

was shut out for just the second time. Scurry equaled her

season-high with seven saves.

Atlanta lost 2-0 to Philadelphia in the season opener this year.
