Wambach Brace Leads Freedom In Come-From-Behind Win Over WPS Champs

Abby Wambach scored on a 79th minute penalty kick, then scored again five minutes later off an Allie Long assist as the host Washington Freedom rallied from a goal down to defeat the defending Women's Professional Soccer champion Sky Blue FC 2-1 Saturday at the Maryland SoccerPlex.

Tasha Kai gave Sky Blue their only lead in the 29th minute off a unassisted goal.

The Freedom hold onto the fourth and final playoff berth in the league standings at 7-8-7 with 28 points. They will travel to the Chicago Red Stars next Sunday.

Sky Blue is 7-10-4 with 25 points and is in fifth place with only a few regular season games left to play. They will host the 2010 regular season champion FC Gold Pride this Wednesday.
