Edmonton had already previously clinched the 1st place and improved to 12-1. They will round out the regular-season on Friday when they host the Bandits once again.
Fraser Valley will still visit the Saskatchewan Rattlers twice after that.
Nighthawks edge BlackJacks
Michael Bryson scored 25 points in his fourth CEBL game to lead the Guelph Nighthawks past the Ottawa BlackJacks 96-71 on Wednesday.
Olu Famutimi added 22 points for Guelph while Tyrell Green was Ottawa's top scorer with 15.
The teams started the second quarter tied at 19 but Guelph took the lead right away and never looked back in its way to claiming a second victory in its last five matches.
