The Lions (5-5) got ahead early 31-0 in the second quarter before coasting into the win.
Box’s efficiency led him to a 10 of 19 passing performance for 195 yards with no interceptions.
Topper grabbed five passes for 91 yards, and Rom DePalma rushed for 102 yards on 16 carries.
Bremen travels to Wabash next Friday.
