COLUMBUS, GA — In a historic night for Columbus United FC, forward Carter Berg scored the club’s first-ever hat trick during an away match in Nolensville, Tennessee, leading United to a commanding win against Tennessee SC.

Berg, who played for Columbus United during the club’s inaugural season, made his highly anticipated return in 2025—and has quickly re-established himself as a key figure and fan favorite. The three-goal performance marks a career milestone for Berg and a historic moment for the club.

A dynamic and technical player, Berg currently competes at the collegiate level for the University of Mary Washington, where he’s made a name for himself in the NCAA. His return to United this summer has added veteran leadership and a sharp presence to the squad.

Columbus United’s push toward the playoffs continues—with Berg’s record-setting night now a proud part of the club’s history.
