A statement issued on behalf of the family read: "Sophie was a happy, beautiful and talented girl who was loved by everyone who knew her. "When she wasn't singing or dancing, she was planning which live music concerts to go to with her younger sister. "She really was the life and soul everywhere she went. "She just loved life, loved people and was surrounded by her soulmates at university, where she had quickly established herself as part of the Nottingham women's cricket family. "She was determined to do whatever her mind was set on and was taken from us too soon." Earlier this week, a University of Nottingham spokesperson said it was a "deeply upsetting time", adding: "We will continue to provide support to our community as we process the weight of this loss."
