VILLANOVA, Pa. (AP) -- Kerry Connors and Marinette Pichon scored first-half goals to lead the Philadelphia Charge to a 2-0 victory over the Carolina Courage on Saturday.

The victory, Philadelphia's third in three games against Carolina, gave the Charge (10-1-4) a one-point edge over the Courage (10-3-3) in the WUSA standings.

The loss also ended Carolina's league-record five-game winning streak.

Connors gave Philadelphia a 1-0 lead in the 21st minute when she left-footed a shot from the left side that found an opening underneath the crossbar for her second goal of the season.

Pichon made it a 2-0 game four minutes later on a header for her league-leading 13th goal of the season.

Pichon just missed her third two-goal game against Carolina this season when she hit the right post in the ninth minute. Five of her goals have come against the Courage this season.

Charge goalkeeper Melissa Moore was called upon to make just one save in recording her fourth shutout and 10th win of the season, to tie her with Kristin Luckenbill of the Courage for the league lead.

Carolina's best scoring chance came in the 74th minute when a shot by Birgit Prinz deflected off a Philadelphia player and then off the right post. Prinz had entered the match with eight goals in nine games for the Courage.

The win also extended the Charge's unbeaten streak to 10 games (6-0-4), which tied the league record.
