Game

Saskia Webber registered six saves to post the shutout. Neither goalkeeper was seriously tested in the first half as the teams combined for just five shots on goal. Philadelphia's best chances came within a one-minute span, as Kelly Smith's 40-yard blast flew just over the crossbar during the 32nd minute and Erin Martin lined a hard shot from 30 yards away a minute later that Beat goalie Briana Scurry hauled in.

Atlanta had the first scoring opportunity of the second half when forward
Cindy Parlow's header from just inside the penalty box got past Webber and
bounded off the far post at the 55-minute mark. Smith answered seven
minutes later with a turning shot from inside the box that sailed over the
goal and Charge midfielder Liu Ailing also missed high in the 69th minute on
a wide-open shot from 30 yards out.

In the 88th minute, Webber made a diving stop of Emily Burt's header and Scurry did the same in the 90th minute on Michelle Demko's line drive from the side.

The Charge return to action next Sunday, May 6 for their first-ever home game at Villanova Stadium. Game time is 4:05 p.m. E.T. as Philadelphia hosts the Bay Area CyberRays.
