The Aggies, ranked 28th in Division III, dropped a 37-6 decision to Minnesota State-Mankato but followed with a 39-3 triumph over Newberry and a 24-21 victory over Shippensburg. They are now 6-6 in dual meets.

Johnson, ranked second in Division III at 197 pounds, picked up the lone points against Minnesota State-Mankato as he pinned Ben Janike in just 85 seconds. He needed just 17 seconds to drop Dabe Bush of Newberry and then pinned Corey Jacoby of Shippensburg in 5:54 to improve to 14-4 on the season.

The Newberry match saw Delaware Valley win nine of 10 weight classes. Jaryd Steinbacher opened with a pin of Matt Black in 3:33 of their 149-pound match. Ryan Herwig and John Powell followed with decisions at 157 and 165 pounds respectively, while Ryan Pope (174) and Mike Berlanda (184) each won by a 5-2 decision for an 18-0 Aggie lead.

Johnson followed with his pin to make it 24-0. Newberry won its lone match at heavyweight and Josh Proctor (125) and Justin Shorts (133) won by forfeits. Dan Hall ended the match with a 9-4 decision over Taylor Gilstrap at 141 for the 39-3 final.
