College Behonick played
college soccer at
American University from 1999 to 2002, where he helped the Eagles reach the
NCAA Tournament as a junior and earned second-team all-
Patriot League honors the same season.
Professional Behonick was selected 51st overall in the
2003 MLS SuperDraft by
D.C. United but did not remain with the club. Instead, he began his professional career with the
Charleston Battery of the
A-League but did not see significant playing time until starting 10 matches in the 2005 season. In 2004, the Battery sent him on loan to the
Harrisburg City Islanders where he played seven games. In 2006, he was signed by
New York Red Bulls as the team's third-choice goalkeeper behind
Tony Meola and
Jon Conway. The Red Bulls sent him on loan to the
Long Island Rough Riders before releasing him at the end of the season. In 2007, he joined
Crystal Palace Baltimore after passing their trial in early 2007. He began the season as first choice goalkeeper, but after some heavy defeats found himself dropped in favor of
Brian Rowland. Half way through the season he was signed by the Islanders to serve as second string goalie behind
Josh Saunders. In January 2008 he suffered an injury to his leg when in camp with the Puerto Rico national team, sidelining him for five months and ruining his chance of becoming first
goalkeeper for the
Puerto Rico Islanders after
Josh Saunders left. In July 2008 he rejoined the
Puerto Rico Islanders as backup to
Bill Gaudette. ==Honors==
