STORRS, Conn. – Returning to Storrs for the first of two-straight home games, UConn women's lacrosse prepares to host the Delaware Blue Hens in its second annual One Love Game at the Sherman Family Complex. Opening draw is slated for 12:00 p.m.
The One Love Foundation, created in 2010 to honor former Virginia women's lacrosse player Yeardley Love after her passing, is an organization working to end relationship violence by educating, empowering, and activating young people in a movement for change.
The goal of our 'One Love' game is to continue to raise awareness about relationship violence, honor Yeardley, and raise money for the One Love Foundation. If you are interested in making a donation, all donations will go directly to the One Love Foundation.
