Kate Berg has been a crucial part of the Bulldogs since her freshman year in 2017. Berg has played in 107 matches and 373 sets in her career. Berg has been selected to first team All NSIC two times (2018-2019), first team AVCA All American (2019), and first team All-Region (2019). Berg led the Bulldogs in total kills and points during the 2019 season and was also second in total digs. During the beginning of the 2021 season, Berg is third on the team in total kills and second on the team in digs.

Head Coach Jim Boos had nothing but high praise for the 5^th year senior: "Kate is now a part of a small and select group of skilled and talented players that make up the 1,000/1,000 club for UMD Volleyball. Kate's on court play has been a big part of our success during her time here at UMD. Kate was a big reason why we were able to go 4-0 this past weekend."

Berg looks to lead the young Bulldogs into NSIC play this weekend as they host Wayne State and Augustana next weekend.
