Hilbert College Athletics

Wade Bergum’s outstanding and unselfish play on the pitch helped him to earn his first Hawks of the Week honor.

Bergum earned six points as the men’s soccer team went 2-0 during the week.  Hilbert claimed a 3-1 victory over Thiel College mid-week and closed with a 3-2 win over Saint Vincent. The junior college transfer ran the midfield with poise setting up teammates for breakaway runs or created his own shots on frame.

The Angola native had a foot in every score against the Tomcats from Thiel.  He stretched his frame to poke the ball over the end line in the third minute before he touch-passed  Travis Hicks the ball for the game winner.  In the second half Bergum used a soft pass up the middle for Nicolas Rodriguez’ first career goal.  Four days later, Bergum elevated for a header to the back of the net lifting the Hawks to a 2-0 lead early in the game against Saint Vincent.
