Solo again faces domestic violence charges after court reversal

The U.S. national team goalkeeper saw charges against her dismissed in January, only for that decision to be reversed Friday.

U.S. national team goalkeeper Hope Solo will again face domestic violence charges after a Washington state appeals court reversed the January dismissal of a case against her.

Solo, who was named the top goalkeeper at the Women's World Cup this past summer, faced two counts of domestic violence after a June 2014 incident in which she was accused of striking her half-sister and then-17-year-old nephew.

That case was dismissed on procedural grounds in January, but a document filed Friday to the state court's website confirmed the reversal of that decision, according to ESPN.
