Success on the pitch has been a constant during Bohn's tenure on College Hill. The 2003 and 2005 teams both won the Patriot League Championship during a stretch in which the Leopards advanced to the championship game in four of five seasons.


When he arrived in Easton in 2001, Bohn guided Lafayette to winning records in 2001 and 2002 (8-4-5, 8-6-4), and boasted nationally-ranked defenses in both of those seasons. In his third year, the offense came through in key situations, including scoring seven goals over two games in the 2003 Patriot League Tournament to propel Lafayette to its third NCAA Tournament berth.


Bohn became the 18th coach in the history of Lafayette soccer on March 20, 2001 after serving two years as an assistant coach for the Leopards. Prior to coming to Lafayette, Bohn spent 1998 on the sidelines as an assistant at his alma mater, Columbia University.
