Roc led the way with 11 points, while Laura Mullins (Windsor, Ont.) and Alisa Wulff (Pickering, Ont.) scored nine points a piece for the Lancers.
The Lancers travel to Waterloo Saturday to face the Laurier Golden Hawks at noon before returning home next Wednesday for "Rivalry Night", as they take on their 401 rivals the Western Mustangs at 6 p.m.
The Lancers are four points ahead of the second-place Mustangs and six points ahead of McMaster.
