KIRKLAND, Wash. - U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo had domestic violence assault charges against her dismissed Tuesday, ending what she called one of the most difficult and emotionally draining times of my life.Now she can turn her attention fully to World Cup preparations.The case had been set for trial in a week in suburban Seattle. The U.S. Soccer Federation had resisted pressure from some to suspend Solo after she was charged with two misdemeanour counts of fourth-degree assault stemming from an altercation with her half-sister and 17-year-old nephew at a party in June.Todays decision brings closure to what has been one of the most difficult and emotionally draining times of my life, Solo said in a statement, which she posted on Facebook and received 275 primarily supportive comments in the first 55 minutes. I always had faith that once the facts of the case were presented, I would be cleared of all charges and I am so happy and relieved to finally have it all behind me.Solo, who also plays for the Seattle Reign, did not appear at Tuesdays hearing when Kirkland Municipal Court Judge Michael Lambo dismissed the charges.

From the beginning, Ive stated that Hope was the victim of an assault in this case. With a careful review of the facts surrounding these matters, it is clear that Hope never should have faced charges in the first place. Hope is very happy and relieved that she can now put this matter behind her. She looks forward to focusing her energies on the game she loves.At a hearing last week, the judge renewed an order for a deposition after Solos nephew and half-sister failed to appear for interviews. Prosecutors had said the pair didnt appear because they werent served with subpoenas and there wasnt adequate time to notify them, given the New Years Day holiday.In court documents, Solo said she was defending herself against her nephew, who is 6-foot-9 and weighs 280 pounds.

LOUIS -- Known for his game-managing and defensive skills, Yadier Molina made another statement with his bat.PINEHURST, N.C. -- Graham DeLaet played his first round at the U.S. Open not unlike his first round at the Masters. There were some nerves and there werent any birdies. The Canadian ended up posting a five-over 75 on the Pinehurst No. 2 course that left him 10 back of the lead. “I got off to a rough start,” DeLaet acknowledged after his round. “It might have been just a little bit of nerves. I wasnt hitting my driver great and then a couple of short-game miscues.” DeLaet started with bogeys on two of the first three holes, including a three-putt on the 12th hole from about 10 feet. Still, he didnt appear out of sorts on the course in the early going and after a bogey on the par-3 15th, he settled into a nice stretch, rolling off nine-straight pars. “I felt I got in a pretty good rhythm for the majority of the middle part of my round,” he stated. “I wasnt really able to make birdies, but I had a couple of tap-in pars that kept it stress free.” He stumbled in, however, making what he called disappointing bogeys on two of the last three holes. An errant tee shot on seven that landed in a bunker led to a bogey while on the last hole he was unable to get on the green in two. “It was disappointing to bogey seven and nine coming in because, if I was able to finish at three over, I would have been pretty happpy,” he said.dddddddddddd The stats show that DeLaet made 10 fairways – above average for the field – and 11 greens, also above the average. But on the greens, the putter didnt seem to be working. He used his flat stick 33 times, far too many, but easily understandable on Pinehursts difficult greens. “Its tough,” summed up DeLaet. “Its a tough round of golf. I felt like I handled it well. Unfortunately, I just didnt execute coming in.” DeLaets score came on a day when the field posted the lowest scoring average at a U.S. Open since 2003. The course average was 73.23 and there were more under par scores on Day One than in the opening rounds of the previous two years combined. But on a course that is playing this tough and with few birdie holes on the course, planning a comeback is not as easy. DeLaet understands that and will try to stay the course as he did in the first round. “Its just being patient,” he stated. “I was proud of myself for doing that all day even though its hard to aim a nine-iron 30 feet from the hole just trying to make four, but thats kind of what you have to do. Well see what happens, if I get a little behind the eight ball I might have to press. “Im not completely out of it. I know that a good round [Friday] will go a long way to getting back into it.” ' ' '
