West Ottawa (4-2, 5-2) was led by Reid Reimink who scored 11 points.

Rockford (5-1, 7-1) remains in a tie with the Bucs after Thursday.
"I told our guys yesterday a win here doesn't win anything for us and a loss doesn't get us out of it," Rockford head coach Kyle Clough said. "There is a bunch of good teams in this league so every game you gotta kind of get up for so certainly anytime you can come on the road and get one it feels like it's a big one."
