Members within the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University are remembering a student who died from an aneurysm.School officials said Aggies volleyball player Fatimah Shabazz, 22, died Sunday."We are heartbroken by Fatimah's passing," North Carolina A&T women's volleyball head coach Hal Clifton said in a statement. "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."WXII 12 news talked with coach Clifton Wednesday afternoon to learn more about Shabazz."People were asking for a miracle, and when she passed, it wasn’t the miracle we wanted, but the miracle was we were able to be with her and spend time with her. And I got to be part of her life, and that’s hugely important," Clifton said.Clifton said Shabazz first experienced symptoms of the aneurysm during a quarterfinals match in the Big South Tournament."It hurts. They’re your family," he said. "They’re your kids. You develop these relationships with them. And our whole approach to family is that these are not my biological kids, but they are my kids."Clifton said Shabazz was a huge reason for the women's volleyball team's success in the past five years. He said, "the things we were able to accomplish. The banners hanging in the gym, the competitiveness in the Big South, has a lot to do with what Fatimah was able to do with the net." Her passion on the court carried over into her personal life.Clifton added, Shabazz was "extremely family-oriented," and excelled on and off the court. Shabazz was in a master's program, Clifton said, and had aspirations to go to law school. He said she had a passion for helping people.Not only was she smart, Clifton said, but she was also hilarious. "She’s really funny. She can make you laugh any time of the day," he added.Despite her workload, Clifton said Shabazz often would make time to help his kids with their homework. "It warmed my heart to see her helping my daughter with homework and taking the time because that meant a lot to my child, but that’s who she was, and that’s a joy we were able to share," Clifton said."...I know that she is a great person. Just from her being at the school and participating in activities I know that she meant a lot to the school in the school meant a lot to her. All I can say is that we are a huge family and we support each other through thick and thin. No matter what we go through. A lot of students are very devastated about her death as we have lost many students and faculty over the last semester," Alexandria Johnson, a NCAT student wrote. Clifton said counselors are currently available at the school to help students who may need extra support.A GoFundMe was created Tuesday to support Shabazz's family.

It often looks like a berry hanging on a stem.Officials said a brain aneurysm can leak or rupture, causing bleeding into the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). Most often a ruptured brain aneurysm occurs in the space between the brain and the thin tissues covering the brain. This type of hemorrhagic stroke is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage.A ruptured aneurysm quickly becomes life-threatening and requires prompt medical treatment.Officials added, most brain aneurysms, however, don't rupture, create health problems or cause symptoms. Such aneurysms are often detected during tests for other conditions. Symptoms:Health experts said a sudden, severe headache is the key symptom of a ruptured aneurysm.
