Hamden, Conn. – Quinnipiac University men's soccer coach Eric Da Costa has announced the acquisition of UConn transfer Triston Henry. Henry is currently beginning classes and will join the Bobcats for the spring session.
A goalkeeper from Scarborough, Ontario, Henry played two seasons at Herkimer Country Community College before transferring to the University of Connecticut for the 2014 season. After not appearing in any matches for the Huskies, Henry will be a junior on the field for the 2015 season. He joins sophomore Brian Westerman (Rockville Centre, New York) as the only goalkeepers on next season's roster. They will look to fill a huge void left by senior goalkeeper and two-time defending MAAC Goalkeeper of the Year, Borja Angoitia (Bilbao, Spain).
