Final: Sol at Athletica
Perhaps a predictable result given the missing firepower for L.A., but the Sol came close; Saint Louis goalkeeper Hope Solo saved a 75th minute Aly Wagner penalty kick. Sol goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc did the same from a Lori Chalupny spot kick 10 minutes later.
The Sol are no longer perfect on the year, but they have yet to concede a goal this season - and Athletica have yet to score one.
