UVA Pays Tribute To Love At NCAA's

((HT: WCAV-TV Charlottesville))

The Virginia women's lacrosse team played for the first time since the death of teammate Yeardley Love.

The Cavaliers rallied in the last four minutes to beat Towson 14-12 Sunday and reach the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament.

Love's body was found May 3, and UVA men's lacrosse player George Huguely is charged with the murder. The Virginia women's players wore shirts under their jerseys with the phrase "One Team. One Heart. One Love."

The men's squad, in their game against Mount St. Mary's, had the phrase on their wamr-up shirts the day before.

As the game ended, fans chanted "UVA UVA" and players flashed plackards with the number "1" on them to the crowd in appreciation.
