George Mason rising senior Ryan Gracia is spending his summer playing for Real Maryland of the USL Premier Development League and on Thursday, the midfielder was named to the League's Team of the Week. Gracia scored a goal in each of Real's opening weekend victories to earn a spot on the 11-member team.

The pool of players from which the Team of the Week is selected is vast. There are 64 teams in the PDL and each roster contains about two dozen players meaning there were more than 1,000 individuals eligible for inclusion.

Gracia is one of four Mason players competing on Real Maryland this summer. He is joined by teammates Draymond Washington, Alex Herrera and Dustin Butcher. Butcher has been in net for Real Maryland in both of its wins this year, posting a pair of shutouts to start the year. Washington has contributed with an assist as well.
