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.

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.
