[WPS] The Los Angeles Sol clinched in the inaugural Women's Professional Soccer regular-season title in anticlimactic fashion. Its 0-0 tie at last-place FC Gold Pride gave it the title with two games to spare and a bye into the WPS Championship at the Home Depot Center on Aug. 22 (TV: Fox Sports Net and select regional outlets, live, 4 pm ET/1 pm PT).

The outcome will raise some concerns in the Sol camp, however. Since beating Chicago, 4-0, four weeks ago, Los Angeles has only scored one goal.

The Gold Pride is all but eliminated from playoff contention, sitting nine points behind fourth-place Sky Blue FC with four games to play.
