ATLANTA - Conny Pohlers&#39; first WUSA goal gave the Atlanta Beat a 1-0 win over San Jose on Saturday, avenging a 1-0 loss to the CyberRays two weeks ago. <br> <br> It was the sixth goal allowed by San Jose&#39;s LaKeysia Beene, who played 46 minutes in the U.S. National Team&#39;s 6-0 win in a friendly match in Birmingham, Ala., earlier in the day. <br> <br> Briana Scurry recorded her 16th career WUSA shutout and third this year for Atlanta. <br> <br> Pohlers, a member of the German National Team making her first start with the Beat, scored in the seventh minute, beating LaKeysia Beene to a free ball near the 18-yard line and rolling the ball to the net. <br> <br> Atlanta (3-1-2) improved to 5-1-1 all-time against San Jose (3-3-0) and ended a three-game winless streak. <br> <br> Cindy Parlow, who scored four goals for the U.S. in 58 minutes against England, entered the game in the 58th minute, but did not score. <br> <br> The Beat&#39;s Kylie Bivens was ejected after receiving her second yellow card for a reckless tackle in the 36th minute, the first ejection in the WUSA this season. It was the fourth of five cards issued in the first half.
