Exeter Chiefs fought back from a half-time deficit to beat Trailfinders and move to the top of the Premiership Women's Rugby table.
The hosts trailed 13-10 at the break at Sandy Park, but scored four second-half tries - through Cliodhna Moloney, Clara Nielson, Hope Rogers and Lori Cramer - to win 36-25.
Exeter leapfrog Saracens, who play on Sunday against defending champions Gloucester-Hartpury, at the summit with four wins from four.
Elsewhere, Harlequins secured a 22-19 win over Loughborough Lightning at the Stoop.
Loughborough struck first through Bo Westcombe-Evans, however the England wing's game ended prematurely because of injury - with Bulou Mataitoga replacing her in the 20th minute.
Quins hit back with two quickfire tries from Connie Powell and Lisa Neumann, before Loughborough's Laura Keates dotted down to give her side a 14-10 half-time lead.
The visitors then extended their advantage through Meg Davey's score, but tries from Quins pair Carys Phillips and Ellie Kildunne - who returned to club duty after winning the WXV 1 title with England - helped the hosts edge to victory.
Sale Sharks host Bristol Bears later on Saturday, while Leicester Tigers have a bye week in round four.
