DOYLESTOWN (PA) - Delaware Valley College is proud to announce that 1996 graduate and two-time NCAA Division III national champion Brandon Totten has accepted the position of head wrestling coach for the Aggies. Totten replaces the legendary Robert Marshall, who recently retired after 35 years of collegiate coaching, including 28 at Delaware Valley.    "The opportunity to continue the tradition that Coach Marshall has maintained over the years is one that I have waiting for all of my adult life," the 28-year-old Totten said. "He built a wrestling powerhouse at Delaware Valley and I look forward to the challenge of continuing that success."    Totten wrestled under Marshall from 1993 to 1996 after transferring in from Division I Rutgers University, and is considered one of the top competitors in Delaware Valley's storied history. Totten is the program's all-time leader in victories as he compiled a 122-20 record in just three years. He also holds the single-season record for wins with 50 in 1995-96.     Just three months ago, Totten became the first Aggie wrestler to be inducted into the National Wrestling Coaches Association/NCAA Division III Wrestling Hall of Fame. He is one of just two wrestlers (Shaun Smith) in school history to capture multiple national championships as he won the NCAA title in 1995 and 1996.    Totten won three NCAA East Regional titles (1994, 1995, 1996) and two Middle Atlantic Conference crowns (1994, 1995) during his Aggie career. He also helped Delaware Valley win the conference and regional team championships in both 1995 and 1996.     Totten's first year at Delaware Valley (1993-94) saw him win 32 of 37 matches as well as the MAC and East Regional championships. He did not place at the NCAA Championships.    The 1994-95 campaign saw Totten go 40-5 with conference and regional titles. He defeated four eventual All-Americans at the NCAA tournament to be crowned a national champion.    The following season saw Totten compete in a number of open invitationals around the country and he finished the year with a 50-10 record, including a 12-6 mark against Division I wrestlers. He was upset at the MAC Championships but bounced back and won the East Regional to earn a berth at nationals. Totten went on to defeat three eventual All-American, to defend his NCAA title.    Totten graduated from Delaware Valley with a Bachelor of Science degree in criminal justice. He went to Western Maryland College and earned a Master's in physical education general studies in 1998.    While at Western Maryland, Totten served a graduate assistant coach and helped restore the wrestling program. The team produced back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in nine years, won the 1998 Centennial Conference Championship and sent three wrestlers to nationals.    Totten spent one season as the head coach of his school alma mater - Allentown High School (NJ) - before taking a position as the head assistant coach at Seton Hall for two years. The team went 25-15 and produced three NCAA Division I qualifiers.     Last year, Totten was the head coach at Middlesex Count College (Middlesex, NJ) and produced six national qualifiers and one All-American as the team finished in ninth place at the national tournament.    "We are thrilled that Brandon is taking over the highly successful Delaware Valley College wrestling program," athletic director Frank Wolfgang said. "Brandon was one of the all-time greats as a wrestler at Delaware Valley and he has been flourishing as a coach since he graduated. We feel that he will continue our championship tradition."
