The Freedom (missing Mia Hamm, Abby Wambach, and Siri Mullinix) took on the Atlanta Beat (missing Briana Scurry, Cindy Parlow, Homare Sawa and Maribel Dominguez) at the Beat's Herndon Stadium Saturday - both clubs having depleted rosters due to National Team commitments. The Beat came away with a 2-1 win, but the Freedom's Jennifer Grubb got her first 2003 goal in the effort and backup goalkeeper Nicci Wright turned in a fine performance in her first-ever WUSA start.
