Despite another promising performance, Palace fell to a 0-1 defeat to Brighton, in front of a record crowd at Sutton.
Katie Stengel had the best of the Palace chances in the first half, forcing two great saves from Sophie Baggaley in the Brighton net.
For all the early first half dominance, it was Brighton that opened the scoring on the 35th minute.
Goalkeeper Shae Yañez spilled the ball after a hefty collision with a Brighton forward, and Bruna Vilamala was there to tap home the rebound.
