DOYLESTOWN (PA) – Ithaca College won eight of the 10 weight classes as the fourth-ranked Bombers notched a 33-6 decision over host Delaware Valley University on Saturday.

Ithaca improved to 7-2 in dual meets while the Aggies fell to 7-7.

DelVal's milestone of the day came in the final bout as defending national champion and top-ranked Zach Roseberry ran his winning streak to 50, a run that dates back to November of 2015, as he downed Jake O'Brien, 10-3. O'Brien was ranked 10^th at heavyweight in the d3wrestle.com poll and that match was scoreless after the opening period. Roseberry then notched two takedowns and an escape and got another point on a stall by O'Brien for a 6-1 lead after two periods. A takedown, another point on a stall and riding time led to the seven-point win.

Roseberry improved his season record to 30-0 and he also moved into sole possession of second place on the Aggies' all-time list with 123 victories (123-12). He is six shy of tying Kyle Bilquist '10 for the top mark.

The Bombers, with six nationally-ranked wrestlers in their lineup, took the first four weights for a 16-0 lead. At 125, 10^th-ranked Jimmy Kaishian took on returning national qualifier Brenden Velez and notched an 11-3 major decision. Ferdinand Mase followed with a 6-0 decision over Tucker Velez at 133.

The battle at 141 pounds featured DelVal's Tim Ambacher (ranked third) and Ithaca's Nick Wahba (ranked 10^th). After a scoreless first, Wahba picked up three of the five points in the second period for the 3-2 advantage. However, Wahba received his second stalling early in the third, giving Ambacher a point. Ambacher then escaped Wahba's grasp with 1:31 to go for a 4-3 lead. It stayed that way until Wahba notched a takedown with just three seconds left for a 5-4 win.

Ithaca's Sammy Schneider received a forfeit win at 149. The Aggies' then got their first points of the day as Sekou Harris used a strong third period for an 8-3 decision over Demitri D'Orsaneo. The match was tied at 2-2 heading into the final two minutes when Harris picked up an escape and two takedowns to go along with riding time for his 13^th win of the year.
