Conway The Central Arkansas men's soccer staff has a new member, as head coach Ross Duncan has announced the hiring of Ian Henry. Henry offers a unique knowledge of both the Bears and the Missouri Valley, having spent the past three seasons at MVC member Evansville While at Evansville, he helped the Aces improve their win total in each of his three seasons, from three in 2015 to 11 this past season. Prior to joining the Aces, Henry spent two seasons a Drury University in Springfield, Missouri, guiding the Panthers to 28 wins in two seasons, including a NCAA Division II National Tournament second round appearance. While at Drury, Henry also served at the head coach of the Springfield Demize, a member of the United Soccer League's Professional Development League. Under Henry's guidance, the Demize finished third in its conference in 2013, its best-ever finish to that point. Henry got his first taste of the MVC with SIUE, spending two seasons as the Cougars' Director of Operations. During his time in Edwardsville, the Cougars went 21-15-4 while making an appearance in the MVC Championship Match in 2012.  "I think one of the things that made me feel comfortable bringing Ian is a level of familiarity," said Duncan. "Knowing Ian, seeing the work that he did at what is a very competitive program at Evansville, made it very easy to make the offer. The process that Evansville went through while Ian was there is quite similar to the process we've gone through here; transforming a program that was going through some struggles to one that is competing for conference championships." "I think this is an exciting program," said Henry of the Bears. "Seeing what Ross has done over the last number of years while I was at Evansville, and where the program has come to and the momentum is has, is definitely something that I was interested in jumping on board with." "My goal is to help the program get better every day," said Henry. "Hopefully I can add a different perspective for the team and for the opponents in the conference as well."
