Seto Berry

Arguably one of the greatest running back to ever set foot on Swenson Field, Seto Berry competed on the gridiron at Bridgewater State from 1997 to 2000. He is the Bears' all-time career rushing leader with 4,495 yards and 44 rushing touchdowns, and the only running back in BSC football history to eclipse the 4,000-yard barrier. During his four-year career, the Bears produced an overall record of 32-10 (.762) and won or shared the New England Football Conference (NEFC) and Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) regular season crowns all four seasons. Seto, who is second all-time at Bridgewater State in scoring with 274 career points, rushed for 1,286 yards and 16 touchdowns in 1999, which at the time were school records. He helped lead the Bears to a 10-0 regular season mark that season as well as the first of back-to-back NCAA Division III Tournament appearances. The 1999 team broke the school marks for points scored in a season (468), and total offense (4,958). In 1998, Seto rushed for a school single-game record of 283 yards (since broken) in Bridgewater State's Cranberry Bowl victory over Mass. Maritime as he earned Lee Harrington Most Valuable Player honors. Seto was a four-time All-New England Football Conference selection including first team accolades in 1997 and 1999. He was also voted to the ECAC Division III New England All-Star Second Team in 1997 and 1999, and was named as an honorable mention on the 1999 Hewlett-Packard Division III All-American Team. Since graduating from Bridgewater State, Seto has gone on to become a middle school physical education teacher in Plymouth. He also started a health and fitness training business six years ago. The competitive experience on the football field at Bridgewater has helped guide him throughout his professional career. Seto resides in his hometown of Plymouth, and is engaged to his fiancé, Marisa Hourihan.
