Prosecutors say she refused a field sobriety test and breathalyzer and that a blood test revealed that she had a blood-alcohol level of 0.24, three times the .08 legal limit.

She previously spent time in an in-patient rehabilitation center that was credited as her 30-day sentence.
Per the Journal, Solo also surrendered her driver's license and was issued a $2,500 fine. She'll undergo a substance abuse assessment and be required to complete recommended treatment. Solo issued a statement of Instagram Monday evening addressing her plea. "Easily the worst mistake of my life," Solo wrote."I underestimated what a destructive part of my life alcohol had become."Solo, 40, is a decorated former goalkeeper for the U.S. Women's National Team. She holds the U.S. goalkeeper record with 202 international appearance that include 153 wins and an international record 102 shutouts.
