This past season, Bergeron aided a Bluejay offense that averaged 338 rushing yards per game to lead the nation. As a team, Tabor ended the 2012 season nationally ranked at 17.

The Tabor College women held visiting Kansas Wesleyan scoreless from behind the arc Wednesday en route to a 72-67 victory.“(Kansas Wesleyan is) a good three-point shooting team,” coach Shawn Reed said. “About 33 percent of their points come off threes, and they didn’t make one tonight. We really wanted to get out and defend them and really force them to drive.”
The Bluejays fell behind early but rallied to take a 9-8 lead on a three-point play by Becky Bryan with 15:30 left in the half.
An 8-0 run by the Coyotes near the end of the half gave KWU a 35-28 lead, but two Jazmyne Smith free-throws with 2.2 seconds left brought Tabor within five at the break.
The Bluejays shot just 31 percent (9-29) from the field.
