Ofori, played for the Bulldogs from 2005-2007 and led the team to the 2007 Southwestern Athletic Conference championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
Patricia Ofori was an alumini of Alabama A&M University where she excelled in a football and studies.
“This is the biggest shock of my life,” A&M women’s soccer coach Frank Davies said. “It’s unbelievable.”
She was a second-team All-SWAC selection in 2005 and also played on two World Cup teams with Ghana.
According to Diane Wilkinson Snoddy, an instructor at A&M, Ofori, who was in graduate school, was on the way to class when the accident happened.
