Bergeron excelled in his second season with the Gulls. He was named to the NECBL Second Team in addition to winning the Most Improved Player Award in 2002. In the 2002 post season, he started two games while going 2-0 and posting a 0.54 ERA. He pitched complete games in both of those playoff appearances.

Bergeron came to BYU from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and compiled a 6-3 record with a 5.49 ERA from 2003-2005 with the Cougars.
