Coach Ted Bergman enters his fourth season in 2023 as the Goalie Coordinator and Assistant Defensive Coordinator at Harvard, where he has led the goalies and has helped lead the defense to tremendous success. Coaching the goalies to the third best saves/game average in the nation (14.75) and a top 15 save percentage (56.7 percent), Bergman also helped to significantly improved the Crimson's goals against average from 14.78 in 2019 to 11.25 during the 2020 shortened season due to COVID-19. In addition, Bergman helped Harvard boast the fourth best man down unit in the country, holding opponents scoreless on 86.7 percent of their extra-man opportunities.

Bergman was recruited to Harvard following a successful year coaching at Cleveland State where he helped lead the Vikings to their first winning season in program history- doubling their win total from the previous year while owning the nation's best ride. Bergman, a standout lacrosse goaltender at Division III powerhouse Wesleyan, also has significant experience playing and coaching overseas.
  
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. He was the first Wesleyan goalie to be selected a First Team All-American as he led his team to its first NCAA Final Four appearance in a decade. As team captain, Bergman led the Cardinals on a program-record 20-game winning streak in his final season. 
 
Prior to his Harvard appointment, Bergman spent five summers living in Israel where he helped develop and coach lacrosse at the grassroots level. He was an assistant coach for Uganda at the 2018 World Championships and served as the head coach for the inaugural Slovenian National Team at the 2016 European Lacrosse Championships in Hungary.

After earning a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Wesleyan in 2017, Bergman received a Master of Arts in Public Policy in Conflict Resolution and Mediation from Tel Aviv University in 2018.
