A native of Level Green, Pa., Willie finds his name littered all over the Laker's history books for his work on the mat. He announced his presence as a Laker from the word “go” at 125 pounds with one of the best freshman seasons in program history. Bohince finished his first year with a 34-7 record to help him lead the team in victories while setting a mark that still stands today for the most wins for a Laker freshman and being named the champion for 125 pounds at the Super Region I and earning All-American honors with his seventh-place finish at the National Championships

Bohince continued to dazzle on the mat with three seasons in which he accumulated 30 or more wins. He had his career-high come during the 2016-17 campaign in which he finished with 38 wins for the second-most wins in a single season by a Laker, going 38-7 with eight major decisions, nine tech falls and four pin falls to his ledger. Willie's effort across his career for the Lakers helped him secure the most career wins with 132 while also coming in first in winning percentage (86.8) and most team points (590).

Bohince was named to an All-PSAC team on three occasions for the second most in program history and his honors did not end there. He was twice named the NCAA Super Region I Champion at 125 pounds, doing so in his first season in 2012-13 season and then again in 2014-15. Willie was named an All-American on four occasions, the only Laker to ever do so?

Bohince graduated with a degree in Accounting after the conclusion of the 2016-17 season.
