Slain UVA lacrosse player’s family and friends pay their respects at closed viewing

Viewing held for slain UVA women’s lacrosse player

TOWSON, Md. — Dozens of mourners gathered at a Maryland funeral home for the viewing of Yeardley Love, the University of Virginia lacrosse player who was found beaten to death earlier this week.

The visitation, the first of two on Friday at a Towson funeral home, was restricted to friends and family. Her teammates were expected later in the day and a funeral is planned Saturday in Baltimore.

The 22-year-old was found slain Monday and George Huguely, a Virginia men’s lacrosse player, has been charged with murder.

UVA president John Casteen is to meet Virginia’s governor next week about requiring police to report off-campus student arrests to their universities. He says the university wasn’t notified of Huguely’s 2008 arrest at another college for allegedly resisting arrest for public intoxication.
