The hosts hit back with a big chance of their own in the 15th minute but Callum Ainley was unable to beat keeper Matt Macey as he was found with space to shoot in the box by Denver Hume.
The U's had a goal chalked off in the 65th minute as Anderson was deemed offside after turning in a knockdown from a corner.
Tovide then forced a smart save from Wright at his near post with a quick turn and shot in the box.
