The Lancers welcomed the Bishop Gaiters, Ryerson Rams and Fraver Valley Cascades to Windsor for the three day tournament.
 
In the teams' first game of the Lancer Holiday Classic, the Lancers defeated the Gaiters 71-40. The Lancers controlled the game after the Gaiters took a four point lead midway through the first quarter. Windsor lead the rest of the way using a strong inside attack and great rebounding.
 
They outscored Bishop's 36-16 in the paint and outrebounded the Gaiters 65-42. The Lancers were led by Jessica Clemencon, with the game's only double-double, with 22 points and 13 rebounds. Miah Langlois chipped in 14 points.

In the teams' second game, Windsor hung on to defeat the Ryerson Rams 75-61. The Lancers opened the game on a 9-0 run, but the Rams would close the gap to 21-15 at the first quarter break.
 
Ryerson shot the ball effectively in the first half going 13-29 compared to Windsor's 9-27 stat line.
 
With the Lancers up 35-32 at half, they opened the second half with four threes from Emily Abbott and Bojana Kovacevic to open up a big lead that they would not relinquish.
 
Ryerson was lead by 24 points and 11 rebounds from Angela Tilk while the Lancers received 18 points and 10 rebounds from Langlois.
 
In their final game of the tournament, the Lancers faced Fraser Valley and came away with a 78-59 victory in a well played contest.
