Bergman was named National Goalie of the Year in 2017, earning the Ensign C. Markland Kelly, Jr. honor from the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association.

As team captain, Bergman led the Cardinals on a program-record 20-game winning streak in his final season.
Bergman also spent two seasons playing in the Israel Premier Lacrosse League. He earned league MVP honors and was a two-time All-IPLL First Team selection.
Neil Hutchinson
Coach Neil Hutchinson is in his 2nd season as the Offensive Coordinator at Harvard University. Focusing on individual player development, Coach Hutchinson has a proven track record of success at his previous stops at Notre Dame, UMBC and Towson University.
Hutchinson joins the Crimson Staff following a successful stint at Notre Dame. Working primarily with the midfielders and face-off specialists, Hutchinson helped guide Bryan Costabile now with the PLL Atlas, to career highs in both Goals and Assists. Costabile was also the ACC Offensive Player of the Year, as well as a First Team All American.
During a COVID-19 Shortened 2020 season, multiple offensive players were on pace to set career highs in both goals and assists, with several players close to eclipsing those highs in only 4 games. Averaging nearly 12 goals per game, the Crimson Offensive scored on 36% of their shots, good enough for 9th at the Division 1 level.
At Previous stops at UMBC and Towson, Coach Hutchinson’s impact was felt on the offensive end of the field. Coach Hutchinson also served a role in the development of current PLL Waterdog Ryan Drenner during his time at Towson.
