Berman helped the Crimson to an at-large berth in the 2021 NCAA Championship as the program made its 17^th all-time NCAA appearance and gained its first at-large bid since 2004. The Crimson went 12-3-1 on the year and earned rankings as high as No. 4 in the NCAA RPI, No. 8 in the Top Drawer Soccer poll, and No. 16 in the United Soccer Coaches poll. Hannah Bebar collected both Third Team All-America and Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors. The Crimson totaled six All-Ivy selections and five Academic All-District choices.
 
In her first season at Harvard, Berman helped guide Harvard to a 12-3-2 overall record, including a 5-1-1 mark against Ivy opponents to finish second in the 2019 league standings. Junior Murphy Agnew was tabbed as the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year and was one of six Crimson players to earn All-Ivy honors. Additionally, Cammie Dopke and Taylor Nielson earned CoSIDA Academic All-District accolades in 2019. Harvard’s 2020 season was canceled due to COVID-19.
 
Berman started all 61 of her appearances for Boston College, scoring 14 goals with 18 assists. As a senior and captain in 2017, she was named the New England Midfielder of the Year and was the Eagles’ MVP and Offensive Player of the Year.
