The improbable run through the Women's Professional Soccer Playoffs continues for Sky Blue FC. The underdogs from New Jersey advanced again and the only goal of the game came from another likely source.

Defender Keeley Dowling scored her first goal of the season and the defense - backed by goalkeeper Jenni Branam - put together a gutsy shutout performance as fourth-seeded Sky Blue FC knocked off second-seeded Saint Louis Athletica 1-0 in the WPS Super Semifinal at Anheuser-Busch Soccer Park.
