An uncompromising defender, Bissohong is a true testament to the quality of players Maryland soccer produces.

Bissohong attended Springbrook High School in Silver Spring, Maryland where he led the team in scoring with 10 goals, taking the Blue Devils to the state finals. For his efforts Bissohong was selected First Team All County and was a Washington Post All-Met honorable mention for the 2001 season.

Bissohong went on to play at UMBC. He was named the UMBC unsung hero for the 2006 season and in 2007, anchored a defense that posted 9 shutouts in 18 games. Bissohong was named to the America East Conference All Tournament team.
