Northern Premier League Division One side Marine became only the second side from the eighth tier to reach the third round after beating Havant & Waterlooville after extra-time on Sunday.
They had caused a big upset in the first round of the competition after beating Colchester on penalties last month, at the JobServe Community Stadium.
The U's were beaten 5-3 on penalties as substitute Michael Howard slotted home the all-important spot-kick for the Mariners.
The game went to extra-time and penalties after finishing 1-1 after 120 minutes, with Harry Pell having cancelled out Anthony Miley’s first-half opener for Marine.
