The Lancers fought back and Candace Kourounis placed one over the shoulder of Guelph goaltender Stephanie Nehring to tie the score at 1-1 heading into the second period.
 
Midway through the middle frame Natalie Barrette fired a shot from the point that got through the traffic in front of the net and into the back of the net, putting the Lancers up 2-1 going into the third.
 
Windsor built a two goal lead as Erinn Noseworthy scored on the power play five minutes into the third period, with assists from Jenny MacKnight and Natalie Barrette.
