The Black Cats scored two second-half goals at seventh-placed Rovers on Saturday, to knock Charlton Athletic off the top of the table.
Katie Kitching curled a 47th-minute free-kick into the bottom far corner, to give the visitors the lead.
Amy Goddard had a goal ruled out for offside but Sunderland did double the lead on 63 minutes, when Emily Scarr charged down goalkeeper Alex Brooks’ clearance and into the net.
