On a day when gruesome details emerged about how a women's lacrosse player at Virginia wound up dead in a pool of her own blood and a player on the men's team was charged with killing her, the teams decided to play on in tribute.

Virginia athletic director Craig Littlepage said in a statement late Tuesday that the men's and women's teams "will represent the University of Virginia as they always have" if selected for the NCAA tournament, as expected, and play to honor the memory of Yeardley Love.

The announcement came at the end of a dark two days for Virginia lacrosse.

Describing a scene of violent rage, court documents revealed that George Huguely, a senior on the men's team, told police he kicked in Love's bedroom door, shook her, and that her head repeatedly hit the wall. Love was found bloodied and dead by friends early Monday.

The 22-year-old suspect, of Chevy Chase, Md., has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the death of Love, also 22. Both were expected to graduate this month.

Huguely was not present at a court hearing Tuesday, but appeared via videoconference from Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail wearing a gray-striped uniform. His lawyer, Francis Lawrence, said later that Love's death was "an accident with a tragic outcome."

Lawrence said Huguely also planned to withdraw from the university.

An affidavit for a search warrant said two people found Love, of Cockeysville, Md., face down in her bedroom with a pool of blood on her pillow, a large bruise on her face and one eye swollen shut. She was pronounced dead at the scene after attempts to revive her.
