Henry, a four-year starter, played both the infield and the outfield for the Rams from 2004-2007. She helped Fordham to a 149-83 mark over that period, which included four Atlantic 10 Tournament appearances, two A-10 Championship game appearances, four seasons of 35+ wins, and the 2005 Atlantic 10 Regular Season title, the first for a women's sport at Fordham.
 
Henry was named First Team All-Atlantic 10 as a junior in 2006 and Second Team All-Atlantic 10 the following season as a senior. She hit a career-high .381 as a junior, which was tied for the third-best single-season batting average at Fordham, and set the single game stolen base mark with three against Binghamton in 2007.
 
At one point, Henry held single season school marks for hits (74 - 2006), at bats (194 - 2006), runs scored (2006 - 54), and stolen bases (2004 - 20).
 
Over her career, Henry compiled a .328 batting average in 221 games with 172 runs, 218 hits, 30 doubles, five triples, five home runs, 67 RBI and was successful on 73 of her 83 stolen base attempts. She was the first Fordham softball player to amass 200 career hits and graduated with school records in hits (218), runs scored (172), walks (111), and stolen bases (73). She also left Rose Hill ranked in the top seven in career batting average (.328 - seventh), at bats (664 - second), doubles (30 – tied for fifth), total bases (273 - third), games played (221 - second) and sacrifices (38 - second).
 
Henry stills holds the school mark for career stolen bases with 73 while also currently ranking tenth in career batting average, fourth in hits, second in runs scored and second in walks.
