EWING (NJ) – The Delaware Valley University wrestling team ended its dual meet season with a 33-5 setback at 19^th-ranked The College of New Jersey.

The Lions improved to 15-4 while the Aggies slipped to 7-10.

DelVal picked up its lone wins with decisions at 141 and 184 pounds (the Aggies were deducted a team point at 184). At 141, Tim Ambacher, ranked eighth in Division III, earned a 5-2 decision over Robert Dinger. It was the 19^th win this season in 25 matches for the returning national qualifier.

Nicholas Bord, who won in overtime on Thursday night, made it two straight thanks to a 6-3 triumph over Thomas Anderson at 184 pounds. Bord, a mid-season transfer, upped his record to 7-4.

TCNJ never trailed in the match as it picked up a pin and a decision in the opening two weight classes. Following Ambacher's win, the Lions earned 15 points over the next four weights thanks to three major decisions and a decision.

Bord stopped that run with his win, but TCNJ got a decision at 197 pounds and a pin at heavyweight for the 33-5 final.

DelVal will now prepare for the NCAA Division III Southeast Regional Championships to be held in Rocky Mont, Virginia on February 23 and 24. It is a qualifying tournament for the NCAA Championships as the top three finishers in each weight class advance to nationals.
