On Friday night at Agganis Arena, 21-year-old men’s hockey senior Eric Gryba scored his third collegiate goal.
A little more than four minutes into the second period, sophomore forward Corey Trivino led a rush up the right side and into the zone before passing to sophomore forward Vinny Saponari at the left faceoff dot. Gryba, eschewing his normal place on the blue line, crept unnoticed to the right doorstep of the goal. Saponari saw Gryba and fired a pass toward the defenseman, who tipped the puck in for Boston University’s first goal of the game, en route to a 3-3 tie against the University of Vermont.
The goal was Gryba’s first on the season. As a defensive defenseman, Gryba is a force on the ice, albeit not an offensive one. Gryba’s checks often leave opponents crumpled at his feet like a heap of dirty laundry. At 6-feet-4-inches and 220 pounds, Gryba is seven inches taller and 50 pounds heavier than his defensive partner, sophomore David Warsofsky.
