Kreltszheim racked up 26 goals for the home side to see them over the line in the Easter weekend clash.
"We didn't know whether she was going to play or not, but her mobility around the goal circle was really positive for us," Rovers coach Noel Halton said.
She was well supported by Morgan Byrne, while Mikaela Trethowan was also a standout.
The Tigers led at half-time before the Rovers dug deep to edge in front.
"At half time we made a bit of a goal to get within three goals by three-quarter time," Halton said.
"As it turned out we were level by then and it just went goal for goal.
