Gribben will line out for the University of Maine against Bryant University at the Chace Athletic Center in Smithfield, Rhode Island.

The Black Bears ended their regular season with an 18-13 record and had the third-best scoring margin in their conference.
In their previous two meetings this season, Bryant came out on top.
