Virginia women’s lacrosse coach Julie Myers spoke to The Daily Progress of Charlottesville on Tuesday about the Cavaliers’ decision to continue their season after the killing of senior Yeardley Love.

Myers told The Daily Progress that Love, a Notre Dame Prep graduate and Cockeysville native, was “one of the most amazing people you could ever meet, and that’s the God’s honest truth.”

“We all have unbelievable sorrow and saddness — this void in our hearts,” Myers said. “But we do feel it’s important for us to try and have a little normalcy in our day and structure to our lives, and obviously, lacrosse can add to our healing.

Jim Daves, Virginia’s assistant athletics director for media relations, told Baltimore Sun reporter Don Markus that the continuation of the Cavaliers’ season came with the blessing of Love’s family.
