On Saturday, after two scoreless periods, the Lancers finally got on the board 56 seconds into the third period as Candace Rapchak scored a powerplay marker to give Windsor the 1-0 lead.

Kelly Calhoun would add an insurance goal late in the period to give the Lancers the 2-0 victory and secure a playoff berth in the OUA playoffs.
