[WPS] It took 11 games, but Amy Rodriguez, the No. 1 pick in the 2009 WPS Draft, finally got her first goal, scoring in the Boston Breakers' 2-0 win over the struggling Chicago Red Stars. Frenchwoman Camille Abily added to her leading-league tally, scoring in the leader Los Angeles Sol's 2-0 win over FC Gold Pride.

Last-place Chicago, which has lost three in a row, has now played 313 minutes without scoring, dating back to a second-half goal at FC Gold Pride on June 7.  That mark bests the Red Stars' 308-minute scoreless streak from earlier this season and establishes a new WPS record.

Abily and Brazilian Marta scored early for the Sol, which has been the Gold Pride three times this season.

In Saturday action, visiting Washington won, 1-0, at St. Louis on Rebecca Moros' goal in the 81st minute.

The weekend goal total of five goals in three games dropped WPS's season average to 2.025 goals a game.
