Henley led the Pioneers to a 2-0 week on the road, averaging 21.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game. He shot an impressive 67.7 percent from the floor (21-31), including a 9-11 performance in Sacred Heart's 68-64 win at Wagner on Sunday.  In that contest, he recorded his second double-double of the season and eighth of his career with 18 points and ten rebounds.  He also added two assists, a block and four steals.  With Sacred Heart ahead 63-61 with 3:06 to go, Henley recorded a steal and assist to give the Pioneers a four-point cushion, then stole the ball again on the next possession and converted a layup for a 67-61 edge with 1:39 remaining.  Two days earlier, he torched Quinnipiac for 25 points (12-20 FG) and six rebounds in a 70-66 victory.  It marked the third time this season Henley has eclipsed 20 points in a game and the 13th time in his career.  He is currently averaging 14.7 ppg (eighth in NEC), 6.7 rpg (sixth) and 1.5 bpg (fourth), and is the second-leading field goal shooter in the conference at 59.0 percent.  The senior from Kent, WA has boosted his career totals to 1,191 points and a school Division I record 566 rebounds.
