This is a Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.
Maryland women’s basketball head coach Brenda Frese added Romanian forward Nicole Fritea to the team’s roster Thursday.
The 6-foot-2 freshman was a member of the U18 and U20 Romanian National Teams, and last played for CSU Oradea, a member of the highest professional league in Romania. Fritea also competed in the 2024 EuroBasket qualifiers, averaging 5.6 points and 7.4 rebounds.
Fritea was a two-time top rebounder in the U18 and U19 championships in Romania.
“[Fritea]’s a talented young player with good athletic ability,” Frese said. “She’s shown she can rebound and block some shots. She’s got good hands and can finish in traffic with a soft touch around the rim. I love how she runs the floor and she should be able to attack off the dribble.”
