Bertaud registered three interceptions for 36 yards, as well as four tackles in the Pipers' 24-14 loss to Carleton on September 28. Two of those interceptions occurred in the fourth quarter, which gave Hamline opportunities to come back and take the lead. His first pick was Hamline's third defensive play of the contest.

Bertaud and the Pipers will travel to St. Olaf on Saturday, October 5 for a 1 p.m. game.
