Henley collects his second NEC Rookie of the Week award this season after his strong play boosted Sacred Heart to a 2-1 week. Henley averaged 15.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and shot 67.9 percent from the field as the Pioneers established a school Division I single-season record on Satirday with their ninth victory. In a 72-69 win over in-state rival Central Connecticut State on Monday, he contributed 11 points, eight rebounds and two assists. In the finest game of his young career, Henley tallied 18 points (8-10 FG) and set a career-high with 11 rebounds in an 86-78 setback at first place St. Francis (NY) on Thursday. It also marked his second double-double this season. Two days later, the Kent, WA native totaled 17 points, nine rebounds and gave the Pioneers a lead they would not relinquish on a layup with 1:13 to play in a 76-74 triumph over Quinnipiac. Since his insertion into the starting lineup five games ago, Henley has averaged 15.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and converted 31-49 shots (.633) from the floor. On the season, he averages 6.5 ppg, 4.5 rpg and is second on the team with a .570 field goal percentage.
