Marta's goal, her league-leading ninth of the season, came when she collected a pass left of the area from Japanese international Aya Miyama, touched it and immediately drilled a shot toward the far post.

Los Angeles, the first team in WPS to clinch a playoff berth last week, maintained its 17-point lead over St. Louis, a 1-0 winner at last-place FC Gold Pride, which has not won a game in the last seven weeks.

The third holiday weekend game also ended 1-0. Sky Blue FC's win over visiting Boston drew the lowest crowd of the season: 1,878.
