GRANTHAM (PA) -- The Delaware Valley College wrestling team, ranked third in Division III, won nine of 10 weight classes to notch a 38-3 victory over host Messiah College in a Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) match.

The win improved the Aggies to 10-3 on the season (6-1 versus Division III opponents), including a 3-0 mark in the conference. They will battle King's College, University of Scranton and Wilkes University at Saturday's MAC Duals hosted by Lycoming College.

Nationally-ranked wrestlers Mike Weston (125) and Jamall Johnson (197) won by fall against Messiah, as did heavyweight Mike Moore. Weston, ranked sixth nationally in his weight class, downed Josh Cragg 40 seconds into the second period. Johnson, who is third in his weight class, needed 3:15 to drop Mike Orfanos. Moore picked up his second pin in as many nights by taking down Ethan Bucarey in 4:01.

Jason Shivak, who is ranked seventh at 174 pounds, earned a 21-5, technical fall victory over Tony Valenti. The rest of the Aggie wins were decisions by Barry Wise (133), Tom Becker (141), Rick Frondorf (149), John Powell (157) and Andrew Helms (197).

Wise, who is ranked second in Division III, notched a 9-4 triumph over Geoff Harner for his 98th career victory. He has a chance this weekend to become just the eighth wrestler in Delaware Valley's storied history to reach the 100-win plateau.
