The 19-year-old’s call-up comes months after helping the Terps make a deep postseason run. Ritarita bagged four goals and six assists off the bench throughout the year, including a brace during Maryland’s 3-0 NCAA Tournament third round victory. The budding star earned Big Ten All-Freshman team honors.
With the departures of the Terps’ starting wingers, Ritarita appears poised for a breakout sophomore season. But his focus remains on leading the Philippines to an ASEAN Hyundai Cup title. That quest begins on July 28 against Myanmar.
