Simone Sherwood put Sheffield ahead on 44 minutes, finishing off Mollie Rouse’s goal-bound shot from almost on the line.
Emily Murphy quickly equalised, controlling a Jordan Nobbs cross before firing past the goalkeeper.
Molly Pike had a strike turned over the bar by Sheffield keeper Sian Rogers, while Newcastle’s Anna Tamminen had to react similarly to deny Amy Andrews.
