FC Gold Pride teammates celebrate as they clinch the regular season title with their 3-2 win over the Chicago Red Stars. By clinching the season title, they also gained an automatic bye into the WPS Championship Final, and will be hosting the match.FC Gold Pride clinched the regular season title yesterday, after a fantastic and entertaining match against the Chicago Red Stars. 5 goals in total were scored in the game, 2 from FC Gold Pride's Marta and another from Rachel Buehler, and then 2 on the other end from Chicago's Ella Masar. It was a well-fought game from both sides, and each team played hard. Even though the Red Stars lost, they put up a great fight, especially against the first place team. However, FC Gold Pride came out on top once again in the 2010 season, and their win, combined with Philadelphia's loss at Yurcak to Sky Blue FC, meant that they would clinch the season title. After the game, the FCGP teammates jumped and ran around, celebrating their win and 2010 league triumph. Since they clinched the regular season title, they also received an automatic bye into the Championship Final, which they will host at Pioneer Stadium, on September 26th. The league winner has been decided, but it now sheds a new light on some of the other questions. Who else will be making it into playoffs? The playoff race is extremely tight right now, especially from 4th place and down. Technically, anyone from 4th to 7th place is still in the fight.
Time will tell who's in and who's out...
