Recruit Profile

"Matt Chandik's One Percent" No. 15 Justin Bergman, LSM, West Essex (N.J.) / Tri-State Built for the shot clock era, Bergman has excellent stick work, vision, and the ability to collect contested ground balls. He is an effective off-ball defender for a number of reasons: his stick clogs passing lanes when hes in the paint. Second, he has excellent posture. Third, his head was always checking back to the ball while defending his man, and finally, he knows when to collapse or surround the crease. Bergman was always probing the middle of the field when the ball was in his stick: it was similar to the skills of a middie who drew a slide and was looking to make a skip pass.
