WESTMINSTER (MD) -- In a battle of top 25 Division III teams,
No. 22 Delaware Valley College won six of 10 weight classes to pick
up a 24-15 road victory over No. 25 McDaniel College (formerly Western
Maryland College). The victory was the first in the coaching career
of Brandon Totten, who was a former assistant of current McDaniel
coach John Lowe in the late 1990s.
With the march starting at 133 pounds, the two teams exchanged
leads before Delaware Valley took control with four straight wins
in the upperweights. The Aggies trailed 12-9 before returning national
qualifer Jason Shivak earned a 19-8 major decision over Caleb Moore
at 174 pounds.
Shivak's win sparked a four-bout run for Delaware Valley as it
took a 24-12 advantage. Returning All-American Josh Housekeeper
followed Shivak by pinning Steve Jennings 73 seconds into the 184-pound
match. Andrew Helms posted a 5-0 shutout over Levi McVey at 197
and heavyweight Kyle Phipps notched a 10-4 decision over Steve Dubrey.
Andrew Belding (133) and Mike Berlanda (157) also posted victories
for the Aggies. Belding had a 7-4 decision over Harry Kettner while
