Healthy young NCAA volleyball player dies suddenly from Aneurysm…

GREENSBORO, N.C. — A Northwest High School grad who earned North Carolina A&T volleyball’s offensive player of the year award this year has died.

The N.C. A&T Department of Athletics announced that Fatimah Shabazz died of complications from an aneurysm on Sunday.  The 22-year-old played varsity volleyball at Northwest for four years, earning conference co-player of the year honors before becoming an Aggie. 

“We are heartbroken by Fatimah’s passing,” A&T coach Hal Clifton said. “Nothing prepares you for moments like this. Fatimah was an amazing person once you got to know her. She was a fierce competitor on the court, but a very sweet person off the court.”
