At Vassar on Tuesday, Berg shot a perfect 5-for-5 from the field coming off the bench, scoring 10 points while adding two steals and two blocked shots. Against Bard on Friday the junior scored a career-high 17 points, adding nine rebounds and two assists. She finished the weekend with a 14-point, five-rebound, two-block showing against Ithaca on Saturday.
 
The scoring binge upped Berg's season average to 6.3 points per game. She's second on the team in rebounds (5.3 rpg) and is tied for the team lead with 10 blocked shots.
