Hamm assists on Pui Wei's winning goal

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Pu Wei headed in a corner kick from Mia Hamm with just seconds left in stoppage time to send the Washington Freedom to the playoffs with a 3-2 win over the Atlanta Beat on Sunday.

Washington (10-5-5) won a corner in the second minute of stoppage time and Pu Wei squeezed her way into open space to head the pass into the back of the net for the game-winner, giving Hamm her second assist of the day.

Atlanta (10-8-1) outshot the Freedom 14-4 in the first half.

"When Mia comes in the second half she just gives a huge spark for us,'' Jennifer Grubb said. "I just wish we could get her playing like that for 90 minutes.''

Hamm was put into the Washington lineup at the start of the second half and tied the game at 1-all in the 58th minute.

In the 75th minute, Hamm assisted on Baijie's goal, giving the Freedom a 2-1 lead, but Cindy Parlow's header tied the game again in the 77th minute.
