The trial for Kirkland resident and U.S. Soccer player Hope Solo, accused of fourth-degree assault, has been pushed back to Jan. 20, 2015, with a motion hearing set for Jan. 6.

Solo’s trial was originally supposed to begin this month but was extended during an appearance Monday at the Kirkland Municipal Court.

Solo was arrested in June after a family argument turned violent at her half-sister’s Kirkland home. She later pleaded not guilty.

Solo was the goalkeeper for last two U.S. Olympic women’s soccer teams and played for the University of Washington. She also plays for the Seattle Reign of the National Women’s Soccer League.
