However, a ruptured aneurysm quickly becomes life-threatening and requires medical treatment right away.”

She was a six-time All-Big West honoree, a two-time Big West champion, a team captain and is a school record holder, but more importantly she was an incredible teammate and leader. She cared deeply for those around her, had a remarkable heart and was a role model for so many.”
