Bergstrom wreaked havoc on the defensive end of the court, recording 12 caused turnovers and adding 14 ground balls throughout the campaign. The team captain set a new career high against Dartmouth, committing five turnovers, which was the second-highest total in an NCAA game this season.

Bergstrom was regularly tasked with marking the opponent’s highest scoring threat, helping All-Americans and NCAA leaders Connor Shellenberger (0 goals), Michael Boehm (Michigan, 0 goals), Kevin Groeninger (Bryant, 1 goal) and Coulter Mackesy (Princeton, 1 goal). Bergstrom will graduate from Harvard in May and join the Marine Corps, where he will be commissioned as a second lieutenant after completing OCS training last summer.
