In the first match of the double-header, Doncaster twice took the lead against MK Dons in the first half but Grace Gillard buried a header from a corner and then Rhianne Rush made it 2-2 via a Sophie Bolton free kick.
Goals were exchanged a third time with substitute Leoni Miceli on target for the Dons, before the decisive goal for the Belles came on 75 minutes.
Doncaster’s Lucy Watson scored twice in the match, including a superb solo effort.
