Sonians led 14-10 at half-time through Alice King and Aillie Tucker tries, both converted by skipper Nicola Nightingale, in response to a score from Hannah Smith and five points from the boot of Mairi McDonald.
Emma Evans claimed a third try for Sonians and Lana Skeldon converted but the holders fought back through a penalty try for a high tackle by Megan Gaffney, who spent the rest of the game in the sin bin.
