Partick Thistle moved one point behind fifth-placed opponents Hibernian in a gripping encounter at Petershill Park.
Both sides came to life in the stroke of half-time as home goalkeeper Megan Cunningham saw Naomi Powell's effort bounce off her back, before Carla Boyce immediately levelled matters.
Brian Graham's side then burst into a comfortable lead as Imogen Longcake made her mark off the bench, followed by Boyce firing home her second of the match.
SWPL player of the year nominee Jorian Baucom grabbed her 22nd goal of the season to set up a nervy finish, but Thistle held firm to put pressure on the capital side.
