A Tufts University major and Lacrosse star had choked to death while taking part in a hotdog eating contest during a fundraiser Saturday.
Madelyn “Madie” Nicpon, 20, died at Boston hospital after collapsing at the off-campus event, her friends said.
“Scooter was a true friend and teammate. She truly valued her relationships with her teammates and coaches,” the Lacrosse team said on Instagram.
“Her reach was far beyond our team- she was a true connector on campus and touched every single person she met.”
The New York native was mourned at a Sunday night vigil where candles were placed around her jerseys.
“Madie was a biopsychology major, a member of the women’s lacrosse team, and an active member of our community,” the university said in a statement.
“In the face of this painful loss, our hearts go out to Madie’s family and friends.”
