Following the tragic events that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, and on the University of Virginia campus last month, the season opener for the Virginia Cavaliers started with a message of support from its first guests of the season.
Minutes before kickoff, players from the William & Mary Tribe, wearing t-shirts that read "United We Stand, Divided We Fall," faced the crowd from the sideline of Scott Stadium and locked arms, reminiscent of a team photo the Cavaliers team took just days after protesters violently took over the city, leaving one person dead.
Before the game, the Tribe released a statement about why they chose to link arms.
