The ladder leaders, beaten for the first time the previous week, trailed 1-0 at half-time against Magpies after Sam Daly scored.
But in what turned out to be a masterstroke, United coach Robert Hill moved Jones into striker for the second half.
The impact was immediate with Jones’ two goals the game changers, while Nadia Chambers delivered a third for United to run out 3-1 winners.
Best for the winners were Brooke Martin, Grace Ronnfeldt and Jones, while Magpies were best served by the hard-working Daly, Ash Gould and captain Erin McNair.
United maintained its undefeated record with a 6-3 win over Magpies in the men’s division 1.
Competition favourites United were best served by reliable defender Jarrod Ambrose, half Andrew Monte and the powerful Tim Jones.
Magpies’ best were the ever present defender Tristan Eichorn, the always involved Joel Shepherd and dangerous Ben Allen.
Norths upset Wombats 4-3 with the wily Ian Beath leading the comeback with support from the hard-working Matt Graham.
Wodonga held onto second spot after a 1-1 draw with Falcons.
