[WPS] The Washington Freedom clinched a playoff berth on the final weekend of the Women's Professional Soccer regular season when it beat Sky Blue FC, 3-1, Saturday at the Maryland SoccerPlex. Sky Blue earned a playoff spot the next day when the Boston Breakers, needing a win, fell to the Los Angeles Sol, 2-1. The results set up a Freedom-Sky Blue rematch Saturday in the first round of the WPS playoffs.

Abby Wambach scored twice and Lisa De Vanna added a goal for the Washington Freedom, which finished as the highest-scoring team in WPS with 32 goals in 20 games. (Los Angeles was the only other team to average more than a goal a game.)

Brazilian Rosana provided the only scoring for Sky Blue FC in the 53rd minute.

Needing to beat the Sol to advance to the playoffs -- Sky Blue FC won the tiebreaker -- the Breakers jumped out ahead on Kelly Smith's goal in the 17th minute -- her team-leading sixth of the season but only her first since May 31.

Marta equalized for the Sol in the 60th minute, and Los Angeles won on Shannon Boxx's penalty kick in stoppage time.
