The undefeated Delaware Valley High School wrestling team picked up its second huge victory of the week on Friday night when it won at Phillipsburg, 31-30.

The match came down to heavyweight with Phillipsburg needing to win by either technical fall or pin. The reason that was the case because if it had ended up as a tie Delaware Valley (12-0) would have won on the criteria of most forfeits after P-Burg failed to send out a wrestler at 157 pounds.

Phillipsburg did end up winning a  one-point decision at heavyweight, but it was not enough to prevent DelVal from beating the Liners for the second time in four years.

Delaware Valley had to overcome a couple of tough losses in this match. These included dropping a 14-12 decision at 132 pounds and an 8-7 decision at 138.

The match went back and forth from there with Delaware Valley finally taking the lead for good on a a pin by Marcus Gary at 165 pounds, a technical fall by Olivier Paul at 190 and an 11-7 decision by Matthew Sencher at 215.
