Yeardley Love’s lacrosse coach at Virginia is named CEO of anti-domestic violence foundation created after her murder

One week after its CEO and board resigned, the foundation created to honor the slain University of Virginia lacrosse player Yeardley Love has named her former coach as its new CEO. ... The One Love Foundation, which was created to combat relationship violence after the onetime Cockeysville resident was murdered in 2010 by her on-again, off-again boyfriend, will be led by Julie Myers, who also a week ago resigned as UVA’s women’s lacrosse coach.
Its previous CEO, Katie Hood, and board of directors, left after a struggle over control and direction, Yeardley Love’s mother, Sharon Love, told The Baltimore Sun. ... Sharon Love said she, her daughter Lexie Love Hodges and son-in-law, Jamie Hodges, who founded the group, wanted to continue having the final say on its activities and direction, but that the previous board felt that it couldn’t continue to grow under that kind of governance structure.
The foundation, which takes its name from the jersey number Love wore both at UVA and Notre Dame Preparatory School in Towson, is in the process of moving its headquarters from Bronxville, New York, back to the Baltimore area, where it began.

Love was murdered the year before. (Baltimore Sun photo by Amy Davis)
It grew quickly in the wake of Yeardley Love’s shocking death, just weeks before she was scheduled to graduate. George Huguely V, who also played lacrosse at UVA, was convicted of second-degree murder and is serving a 23-year prison term.
