Former Seattle Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting his fiancé, U.S. women's soccer team goalkeeper Hope Solo, according to police.

Stevens, 33, was released by a Kirkland, Wash., Municipal Court judge on Tuesday after his arrest Monday on charges of fourth-degree domestic violence, reports the Associated Press.

The judge in the Seattle suburb said there was not enough evidence to hold the former pro football star, but the case remains under investigation, Kirkland Police Lt. Mike Murray tells the news service.

Inspired by a country healing from the devastating tsunami and nuclear disaster, the Japanese women’s soccer team defeated the U.S. for the World Cup title Sunday, winning on penalty kicks after the two teams finished tied after regulation and overtime. It was Japan’s first ever win versus the U.S. in World Cup play.

“It was heartbreaking and Japan played well and never gave up. We had chances throughout the game and didn’t put them away,” Abby Wambach, 31, told ESPN. “It wasn’t meant to be. We worked so hard.”

U.S. Women's Soccer Team Takes on Japan

On paper, the 2011 Women's Soccer World Cup finals in Frankfurt, Germany seems like a clash of dueling emotions: The U.S. feels it’s a team of destiny in search of redemption.

In 2007, they were knocked out of the World Cup play prematurely by Brazil, the very team they beat last Sunday to advance after Abby Wambach's amazing header tied the game with seconds remaining. The U.S. beat Brazil on penalty kicks, defeated France 3-1 Wednesday, and on Sunday find themselves on the precipice of taking home their first cup in 12 years.
