Saint Louis edges Boston 1-0

Eniola Aluko scored her sixth goal of the season to lead Saint Louis Athletica past the Boston Breakers, 1-0, in Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) action Saturday night at the Anheuser-Busch Soccer Park in Fenton, Mo.

As a result of the win and Washington's 3-2 loss at FC Gold Pride earlier today, Saint Louis (9-6-3, 30 points) has clinched the second seed in the WPS Playoffs and will host the WPS Super Semifinal on Aug. 19. Boston (7-8-4, 25 points) would have clinched a playoff spot with a victory, but now remains in fourth place. The Breakers are one point behind third-place Washington, and two points ahead of Sky Blue FC, but the New Jersey side has one match in hand over Boston. The top four teams make the playoffs.
