The Ferris State University women's soccer program found a new head coach to continue the program's championship climb as Greg Henson was appointed to the post prior to the 2019 season. The 2021 fall season marked his third year at FSU and he led the Bulldogs to the program's first GLIAC Championship in the spring of 2021 and first league tournament title in the fall of 2021. Additionally, in the fall of 2021, FSU advanced to the NCAA Tournament for only the second time in school history and the Bulldogs finished with a 15-3-4 overall record.  A St. Louis native, Henson most recently had served as the head coach for the previous six years at Concordia University in Nebraska, leading his program to an impressive 83-28-16 overall record with three conference championships and two National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Tournament appearances. Under Henson's guidance, Concordia has posted the five winningest seasons in program history over the last five years. During that time, the Bulldogs have gone a combined 73-19-15 with two Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) tournament titles (2014, 2016), one outright conference regular-season championship (2017), two national tournament trips, five-straight conference championship game appearances and a national ranking as high as 16th in the country. While at Concordia, Henson's teams have set program single-season records for wins (16), shutouts (12), goals against (14), longest winning streak (8), longest unbeaten streak (15), most conference wins (9), best goal differential (+47) and second-most goals in a season (67). He's coached a total of 45 all-conference selections, nine all-region performers and an NAIA All-American. A total of 51 players have also claimed NAIA Scholar-Athlete recognition with four chosen as Academic All-Americans. In 2017, Henson earned GPAC and United Soccer Coaches Plains Region Coach of the Year honors and his teams have also performed extremely well in the classroom, earning NAIA Scholar Team and United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award laurels for six consecutive years. His squads have also posted a team grade point average of at least 3.4 each academic year. His 2013 team led the NAIA in number of scholar-athletes and topped all women's soccer programs nationally (NAIA and all NCAA divisions) with a combined 3.75 GPA.

In total, Henson has nearly 20 years of soccer coaching experience at the collegiate, high school and club levels.

Following the remarkable season, Henson was named Class 1 Central Region Coach of the Year. Henson's coaching background also includes experience on the NCAA Division II level where he served as the assistant women's soccer coach at Lindenwood University in St. Charles for two seasons (2011-12).
