DOYLESTOWN (PA) – The Delaware Valley University wrestling team picked up wins in all 10 weight classes, as the Aggies registered a 49-0 home shutout over Temple University on Saturday afternoon.

Sekou Harris (6-14) had his arm raised for a forfeit win at 157 pounds and DelVal had a 27-0 lead after five weight classes.
 
Ben Schweiger, wrestled his first match in nearly a month, and the 165 pounder picked up two takedowns, an escape and riding time for a 6-2 decision over Mike Walsh. Schweiger, who is listed as a contender in the D3wrestle.com rankings, is now 8-9 on the season.
