After claiming their last three consecutive games, the Saints now edge out Lavington for fourth spot on percentage.
While coach Tina Way is pleased with her side's progress, she admitted there's still a long way to go this season.
"It's nothing to go by now because it's so early in the year, it's all about what happens in September," she said.
"We're happy with our four wins so far."
The Saints led the Rovers at every break at W.J Findlay Oval, with Rebecca Piazza starring for the visitors.
Starting off in goal-shooter, Piazza shot 14 goals before showing her versatility to finish the game off strongly in defence.
"She shot really well and then transitioned into defence and did a wonderful job," Way said.
"Rovers have a very tall defence, so it was good for us to have some height in there.
"When we ran her in defence our goalers (Aimee Antonello and Grace McKerral) also had a great third quarter."
Centre Saige Broz continued her consistent form this season for the Saints, while defender Jenna McLeod was among the best on court for the Rovers.
Kelsie Wilson also fought hard for the home side, finishing the day with 30 goals.
Rovers currently sit in seventh spot after two wins so far this season.
Following next weekend's league bye, the Saints will then face the competition's only undefeated side.
"Everyone's looking forward to training hard this week, having a rest and then taking on Corowa," Way said.
