DOYLESTOWN, Pa. – A pair of wins by fall highlighted the Centenary University wrestling team's 40-9 victory over Delaware Valley University on Thursday night.

Centenary, which won eight of 10 weight classes in the match, got its wins by fall at 157-pounds and 174-pounds.

Sophomore Logan Long needed just 2:12 to record the win by fall against Justin Whitacre at 157-pounds. Senior Alec Donovan got his win by fall in 1:15. Donovan took down Jake Nase at 174-pounds.

Freshman Ryan Anderson, who is ranked seventh by the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA), secured his team leading 25th win of the season at 149-pounds. Anderson used a pair of near falls in the opening period to jump out to an early lead and claimed a 11-2 major decision victory.

Junior Kenny Long and sophomore Justin Hopman each secured wins by decision in their respective weight classes.

Long recorded the 11-6 win versus Kyle Hillermeier at 184-pounds and now has 16 wins on the year. Long took a 6-2 lead after one with three takedowns in the period. He added a reversal in the second and a takedown in the third en route to the victory.

Delaware Valley picked up its two wins on the night at 133-pounds and 285-pounds. At 133-pounds Kordell Rush, who is ranked No. 10 by the NWCA, used a third period escape and the riding time point to just slip past sophomore Jacy Jones, 4-2. The Aggies' win at 285-pounds came by fall.
