Freshman Maran Kokoszka and senior Carmen Nam also won a pair of races apiece to help the Clan women to a 151-102 victory.
In all, Clan swimmers won 25 of 28 contested races.
VanderHelm, who earlier became the first SFU swimmer to qualify for the NCAA Division II championships, won both the 100-metre breaststroke and butterfly.
Lee placed first with a 1996 pool record time of 57.50 in the 100m backstroke. He also won the 200m individual medley.
Woinoski touched first in the 200m fly and 400m freestyle.
