Triston henry: it's a great feeling something i've always strived for.

Like i said before i couldn't do it without my teammates, coaching staff, coach joe.

It's definitely a credit to the guys in front of me because like i said i wouldn't be here without them, they've been amazing since the first year, putting your body on the line to help me out so i really appreciate what they do for me as well.

Henry won back to back n-j-c-a-a national titles in 2013 and 2014 while with the generals here in herkimer - and was named an all-american.

They fell in penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw through regulation - but still have the chance to advance in a play in game next week.
