Top scorer for Derby County Eleonor Ashton opened the scoring with a brilliant finish in the 26th minute, giving them a 0-1 lead at halftime.
The second half started with an early goal by Amy Sims in the 53rd minute. But the away team didn’t stop here, as Rebecca May scored her first goal for the Ewes after receiving the ball from a corner, making it 0-3 in the 58th minute.
Huddersfield struggled to find an opportunity, but the Ewes came off with a few more attempts before Sims stroked another goal in the 90th minute of the game.
It was a disappointing match for the Terriers ending 0-4 on their home pitch.
Huddersfield Town remains 11th at the bottom of the table as Derby County earned three points and climbed to the seventh position.
