UVA Lacrosse Death Darkens Mood Of Campus


Reports of the UVA Lacrosse death have shattered the expectant wave University of Virginia students had been riding in the final weeks before graduation. Women’s Lacrosse standout Yeardley Love, 22, was a much loved daughter, friend, lacrosse player and student, according to CBS News. She was one of the lynchpin players on a team headed for a possible national championship, but she did not live to see the day. Local police discovered the body of Yeardley Love lifeless in her apartment and a suspect is currently in custody. Rumors had been spoken of the possibility of excessive alcohol consumption having caused Yeardley Love’s death, but further investigation has shifted more toward head trauma.

Suspect George Huguely has been named in the UVA Lacrosse death investigation

The UVA Lacrosse death investigation has nabbed UVA Men’s Lacrosse standout George Huguely. He has been hit with the charge of first-degree murder. Virginia police will release further details on the investigation once key elements of their research are complete. An autopsy on Yeardley Love’s body must be performed and police must question Huguely’s friends and teammates.

Huguely has cooperated thus far

It is not yet understood just how cooperative George Huguely is being with police, but various reports indicate that he may be contrite and is doing all he can to take responsibility for actions that may have transpired. This is quite different than the standard lawyer-up and shut-up routine most obviously guilty perps take – does Huguely even have a lawyer involved?

Yeardley Love inspired love in many

Craig Littlepage, the UVA AD who knew Love well, told CBS News that the young woman brought out the best in others. He proudly exclaimed that she was almost considered angelic by everyone she met. John Casteen, the president of the University of Virginia, wrote on the university website that the UVA Lacrosse death had cast a dark pall over the entire community. Yeardley Love loved her life at the University of Virginia, and her humility was an example to all with which she came into contact. “She deserves to be remembered for her human goodness, her capacity for future greatness,” exclaimed a clearly emotional Casteen.

George Huguely also appeared to be a gem of a young man

CBS News indicates that George Huguely was a star on the field for both football and lacrosse. He co-captained his prestigious Bethesda prep school’s lacrosse team. Based upon various accounts, it seems that an act of violence against Yeardley Love would be far outside Huguely’s normal character. Time will reveal the truth as the investigation continues.
