This season, Caringi was named Striker of the Year in the America East. His 14 goals and 32 points led the conference, and Caringi stands 13th in both total goals and points, according to the release.
The only thing that bothered Caringi and UMBC is that he hurt his ankle in the early minutes of the America East title game. He didn't play much after that, especially in the two NCAA tournament games.
