Etown Falls in Three Dual Matches Friday and Saturday

ALLENTOWN and DOYLESTOWN, Pa. --- Elizabethtown fell in three dual matches Friday and Saturday. The Blue Jays lost to Delaware Valley at Delaware Valley, 45-9, Friday, and Elizabethtown lost to Muhlenberg, 45-6, and Baptist Bible, 40-18, at Muhlenberg Saturday.

In Friday's match, Delaware Valley head coach Robert Marshall became just the third coach in NCAA Division III wrestling history to reach the 400 win plateau with the victory.
