HOBOKEN (NJ) – Delaware Valley College head coach Brandon Totten surpassed the 100-win plateau as the Aggies, ranked third in Division III, posted a pair of victories at Stevens Institute of Technology. They earned a 43-9 triumph over King's College and downed the host school, 47-3.
Now in his seventh year on the Aggie bench, Totten holds a 101-28-1 record, including a 13-1-1 mark this season. The two-time national champion and 1996 graduate of Delaware Valley, is just the second wrestling coach in Aggie history to reach the milestone as he joins his coach and NCAA Hall of Famer Robert Marshall (363 wins at DVC, 400 overall) on the exclusive list.
Delaware Valley notched three pins en route to its win over King's.
Charlie Frankel got the call at 125 pounds and he dropped Michael Tabasco in 1:58.
Brandon Clemmer, ranked ninth at 133 pounds, followed with a pin in 2:40 over Anthony Dietrick. The remaining fall came from
Kyle Bilquist as the third-ranked heavyweight needed just 1:49 to stop Christopher Rash.
Dale Fava (149) earned a 13-3 major decision while Eric Mann had a 7-3 decision at 141 pounds.
Justin Barowski (165),
Rocky Mantella (174) and
Jeff Siciliano (197) were awarded forfeit victories. The biggest surprise of the match came at 184 pounds where 2008 national runner-up
Mike Wilcox was caught and pinned by the Monarchs' Zach Wilkinson.
The Aggies recorded six pins against Stevens to the team 16 over the last two days (seven vs McDaniel on Friday and three in the King's match). They had falls in the opening four weight classes thanks to Frankel (1:28), Clemmer (6:42), McCann (6:30) and Fava (0:33). Sicliano (1:28) and Bilquist (2:13) notched first-period pins to end the match.
Barowski and Mantella had decisions against Stevens while Wilcox bounced back from his earlier loss with a first-period, technical fall victory.
