OKEMOS, MI - After the Eastside Stars beat the Chiefs the previous week 3-0, Okemos needed a win against conference rival Jackson to keep within striking distance of the Stars for the conference title.

Okemos went on to win 6-4 in a game that was not as close as the score indicates. They jumped out to a quick lead and piled on the goals, but Jackson made it look close by notching a couple goals in the last few minutes.

Eastside won their game immediately after against Dewitt-St. John's, so they retain their one game lead in the conference with only a few CAAC games remaining.
