Forward Jordan Henry from Iona has transferred to UNCW to play women’s basketball, UNCW Head Coach Adell Harris recently announced. Henry, a versatile 6-foot-3-inch performer, joins the Seahawks after playing her freshman season for the Gaels of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Per NCAA transfer rules, she will sit out the 2013-14 season and resume her career in 2014-15 with three years of eligibility remaining. Jordan Henry has returned to North Carolina after one season with Iona’s Gaels. “Jordan is a talented shooter with great range,” said Harris. “Her versatility and size will help us on both ends of the floor. More importantly, Jordan is a great fit for our locker room. She has outstanding character and believes in my vision for UNCW women’s basketball.” A native of Waxhaw, Henry played in 16 games in 2012-13 and helped the Gaels post a 20-13 record and advance to the WNIT, where they fell to Colonial Athletic Association champion Drexel in the opening round.
