Bertschy was a member of the Cornell team that finished 15th in its division with a record of 5 wins and 7 losses.  2014 marked the fifth time in six years that Cornell competed in the national championship tournament. Cornell was one of only 48  teams that qualified for the tournament, and was the only school from Iowa and the second-smallest in the 48-team field.

In 2010, the Cornell team finished sixth in the nation and  two Cornellians were named All-American attorneys.
